Description This is a nice route but the gear is a little funky(Hard to place WELL)
But it has...Great location, Beautiful Views, & Sweet Climbing. What more could you want?
Protection Placing gear before the roof creates a LOT of drag...
~SO~
Be creative with your runners or go no gear till you get past the overhang

| The gear on this was definitely difficult to place. Every time I thought I had a good piece coming it wound up being crap. Try not to fall on this one. |

| Went back and climbed this route for the second time this weekend. I remember getting good gear before pulling the bulge the first time (like Craig says, hard to place well). In Burt's photo I think it is hidden by my body.
This time I totally missed the gear, and just pulled through. The second time is not always more competent than the first! |
