| A worthwhile route while in the area. It's nice to have a wide piece for the fatter crack section near the top. I plugged a #5 Camalot C4 in the big section. Have at least one #3 and/or #4 for the anchor as the options are limited with most of them wide and flaring. |

| everybody should do this route. I found it to be a lot of fun (and a little scarey). I think I'm starting to enjoy the arm bar. |
