Description 

Before the MN/WI guidebook came out this route was simply called "Everybody's First Lead", and for good reason. With time and all the kicking sticky-rubber feet, the route has become slick and polished. Go around the corner from the spraypainted flag to the right, this route is to the right of Left Lane, and goes up the arete and face. Memorable only in that it probably was your first lead. Right?

Protection 

Bolts. Please use your own gear for top rope. Please bring an extra biner and if the ones up top look bad or don't easily clip or shut, please replace it. It's good karma.

There are a lot of polished holds on this route, but it has a few fun movies. Lots of nasty falls for the beginning leader mixed with polished holds makes this route less than desirable. Locking 'biners at the top are starting to get really worn (Apr. 09).
