Wow, that's a hell of a lot gear! I usually just throw a single cam in through the easy bottom section.

I had just aided the route. I hooked a couple of times; on the traverse and again on the crux but aided on nuts and cams and existing pins through the smooth sections. This is an excellent training route for some solid aid climbing and presents interesting and fun placements for hooks, cams, and chocks!

Not to worry, Pete! I would never do such a thing :) I am very particular to where I place a hook; only in empty pin holes and in flared pin scars and do not hook any of the free holds.
