Hot day, relatively solid rock, fun. Lead pitches 1,3,5. Pitch 5 was sustained, but fun.

Rad route, lots of fun; fairly straightforward route finding. Some run out sections, moves from the second pitch to the 5.7 crack I thought were pretty cruxy! Last pitch was probably my favorite.

With Peter and Nayden. Incredible fall day, short sleeves all day! That last pitch, 5, was the most sustained and interesting, going up the rib to the left of the Pumpkin. Peter had to do a roof move on 3 that was interesting. Otherwise, just some fall exercise for the most part. Rock was good quality though, textured, no squirrel piss.

Very Nice Route
We climbed this in mid november. The climbing is great with a few sizable run-outs. Our experience turned interesting when it began to blizzard on the last pitch. Great climb though
