Protection Standard rack, mainly nuts and small to medium cams.
Per Scott McMahon & John Marsella: long reach to chains.

| This was my first trad lead... it takes perfect pro - but I did a terrible job with rope drag... for other beginner leaders make sure you extend your slings and take care to keep your rope out of various cracks 'cuz I am just glad the climb ended when it did or i couldn't have gone further if I wanted to |

| There is a fixed cam (NOT coming out) about 1/2 way up in the dihedral crack on your left. |

| Bolt anchors recently added by Rossiter are nearly out of reach for short people. Being one of those short people, I found the crux of the route was trying to stretch to get slings onto the rings. Placing a microcam in small pocket left of the bolts for a safety helps make it a little more secure, so I didn't peel of the ledge trying to clip the left ring. |

| - *A note of caution to any who desire to TR this route: The LEFT bolt-hanger is attached by a very loose nut as of July 20th 2007. It seems to slowly uscrew itself during use. This is also the case with the route to the left, Jam It

| After you've got the rope hanging from the anchors, take a lap and climb the face out to the left of the normal dihedral, adds a new twist to the route. The face moves probably go at 5.5 or 5.6. |

| Just a note, the anchors are bit high on this climb. I'm about 5.9' and I was reaching to thread the rope. |

| I'm with Scott on this one-- I am ~5'10" and am fairly uncomfortable with this anchor. I've gotta stand on my tiptoes to work with it. The 2 links of chain could stand to be 3 or 4 links? |

| FYI, there is a large loose boulder on the pillar about 2/3rds of the way up the route. It moved a couple of inches when I pulled on it. This would fall right onto the belay ledge and probably continue to the road. See the attached picture. I chalked it when I was there on 6/3.
