A unique climb
Only climbed this when its wet, which is often apparently. Lots of good liebacking and solid pro. The "Caverns" area is cool looking - top out is easy too. Cool climb!

lieback central
Fun route and I'd say more physically challenging then Commitment. From reading the reviews I think we missed out on the most exciting part as it was late and we decided to rap at the top of P2. Next time.

Quality route
I thought this was really good. Very wet when we did it, which added to the spice factor. Pretty heads-up for the grade in parts. A lot of excellent lie-backing.
