| This route could be a good first lead for many. |

| Fun climb to learn how to lead or for beginners on top rope. Mostly slab climbing on great holds up to a small roof crux right near the end. Good bolt placement protects the roof move so new leaders should feel pretty safe. |

| yes there is a second pitch i don't think it is 10a though its more like a nine. traverse right two bolts after the chains and then stem you can then place a bd #1 in the gap in the rock, make sure you put a sling on it. than swing around the corner and stand up on the platform and there will be another bolt. than do the scramble up to the chains of platinum blond. |

| Did the second pitch some years ago. Was pretty fun but I remember it being over pretty quick. Still, it's worth doing once. I also remember telling my belayer that I thought it was 5.9. |

| The first and second pitch can easily be combined for a nice long pitch. After pulling the first roof (staying left of bolt makes for more of a challenge), clip everything including anchors with long slings until you get up under the final roof to minimize rope drag. |

| Took a fall when my foot slipped off pulling the roof - thought I had two good hands but my fingers were too numb to know for sure. Climbing in the snow is certainly interesting! Seems like a solid lead - the 5.7 route goes right around the roof correct? Maybe it was just the conditions but the roof seemed like maybe 5.9, 5.10 |

| I have the gear left on the climb when the scout leader fell yesterday. Message me with gear description so I can get it back to you.
I've seen several accidents on this climb over the years... |
