Comments: This is a really fun route. I do it every time I climb at Scout. I agree that the lower bolts are justified for someone leading at the 5.9 level. Double digit leaders should try a no-hang clip at the anchors for an added challenge.

Comments: Great route. I wish I had triple #1 and #2 Camalots though. I ended up leap-frogging gear. You don't need anything bigger than a #3. Leave the TCUs at home.

Also, wear sturdy shoes. Something board lasted or with a midsole would be good. I wore my Mythos and cried the whole way up.

At least I had shoes. My partner, Nate Adams, left his in the truck and seconded the pitches in his Adidas!

Comments: Really fun route. Moderate line with the exception of the brief crux. Make sure you belay just over the roof on pitch 5. This and the crux pitch are the best pitches.

Comments: Idiot Wind:

Combine pitch 3 (.10c) and pitch 4 (.9).

This eliminnates the manky belay (look for a small tri-cam placement before the station) and allows you to climb the route faster. Double ropes help eliminate drag.

Don't waste time looking for pro on the bolted face. The bolts are old but there are several. The exposure here is simply awesome. Enjoy it!

Bring comfy shoes for the descent.
