Description:
Big moves up a 30' finger crack/face lead to a ledge. Then climb through some friable rock past a few roofs up the corner. The gear is mostly great and the climbing is great.

Sweet!
Great line - man up (or woman up as the case may be) off the ground and you're rewarded with 100 feet of great, fun, thought provoking climbing.

gear puzzle
11a moves...while placing micro nuts. Felt great to stick the move and get good gear. The rest of the route is great too. I thought it ended over the roof...but no, you still have a ways on easy, though grungy rock. Sling well or pay the price.

Second ascent by:
fun climb
Perhaps a bit light in the grade. Moves felt no harder than 11a, but, as I could tell from cleaning the gear, placing the gear on lead near the bottom would be the crux.

Good grief.
I for one am going to take a stand and stop sending checks to the Hoveround people.

Amazing, and slightly scary
This thing was awesome. If you can man up through the boulder problem down low the climb is great. Kind of dirty, but would definitely clean up with traffic. Worth doing if you're a solid 11 trad leader, it'll put some hair on your chin.
