Excellent route
I thought this would be a good warm up instead I spent almost 2 hours battling out an onsight. I hadn't placed a peice of gear in nearly 5 months so I was a bit rusty. The technical crack moves humbled me and made me think. I plugged 2 oh shit pieces down low in the corner and didn't extend them which screwed me later with horrendous rope drag. All in all, this felt miles harder than my onsight of Reckless Abandon later that day. Such a good route, go do it when the lake is low.
