| Bruce Burgess and I did this first using a small tree at the bottom for the starting protection then got hooks and placed the bolts maybe around 1988. It never had an R rating!
Thanks,

| I felt that this was a very sustained climb, with a few "cruxy" sections and some heady difficult moves high above bolts. Take a small cam or two for the very top. |

| Climbed this again for the first time in a good while. Holy Smokes! I admit. I'm biased, but damned if this isn't the one of most amazing free climbable slices of stone in NC. The route ain't mine, it's the earth's. I just drilled the bolts (with a lot of help and coaching from my mentor Chris Caldwell). |

| I totally agree with you Bruce! I hangdogged this thing yesterday and I'm still thinking about it. One question: does the route traverse over to the first bolt from the left or does it start on the arete to the right of the bolt? I tried both ways and found them both to be pretty difficult. |

| I start way left at a crack and gun for it. Haven't done the direct start, but if I did, I'd just stick clip the 2nd bolt. |
