Most of the description I put on here was just quotes from the ropegun that put up the top rope for me. Sweet route though, but there is crux on there that I remember trying some layback move on it and fell off so many times that my belayer almost tied me off and left.

Comments: Steve Merschel - My favorite route on the trip. The start is bouldery as hell and the sharp edges on the first few pockets define pain. Bring tape if you e a Nancy like me. Whew! This route is awesome! The mini-roof at the end is also fun. You get on this edge and then throw for this huge ledge (watch out, its pretty sharp too). A great place to spend a day. We found a lot of great routes around this area and were running 3 ropes all day long.
