Climbed it in August 2007 and it is getting a little worn. Very fun!

Um, as good as 5.9 handcracks get. Excellent stuff.

The rap bolts are way left of the climb. Easiest to build a small anchor on top and bring your second up. Be careful of not dropping rocks on the folks below when walking to the anchor.

Outstanding. I was laughing with glee the entire way up this fun route.
