Onsight ascent by:
cupped hands
The start is pretty tricky and the upper half is all about conserving your pro and resting when you can. I took two blue camalots and wished I would have had one more. Great route and the warm up at the crag.

One of the best!
Had a real battle on my hands for the onsight. Starts with a difficult thin section and a high step, followed by awesome hands, then wide hands/fists (crux) finishing with slightly easier hands. I took 3 #3 camalots and used them all (taking 4 would not be overkill). This route would easily be rated 5.11 at Vantage.
