props to the FA party for not bolting the short-lived hand crack. it also takes a #3 BD along with #2s.

My climbing partner used a #2 cam between the 3rd and 4th bolts.

This is a fun route. You have positive hands the whole way up, as with everything at Ozone it's edgy and ledgie . I didn't place pro between 3rd and 4th bolts. If you get want there is a nice crack for BD #2.

I climbed this last fall and really enjoyed the route. I didn't end up placing any gear but really liked the feel and the movement. The traverse under the small overhang and then climbing out it was the best part. I did throw off a few small pieces of rock that were on the ledge.

Agree with the others about the quality of this one. Didn't think it needed gear anywhere. Definitely one of the better moderates at Ozone and as good as Carrots for Everyone in my opinion. No move eclipses 5.9, however, and there are plenty of rests...
