A good view on the route. You just stay a bit right.

View from the top. First outdoor climb! Follow Trad. Amazing fun!

The Eye.

starting up the steep part, just keep telling yourself "It's ONLY 5.1"<br>
Seriously though, it looks harder than it is. Amazing and huge in-cut holds appear as needed.

Looking up the route from the base

great climb. Nice crack in the celling at the end of the climb for an anchor. Save 3 cams #2 and up for the anchor at the end.

12 or so placements. Who says no pro? Tricams, offset cams give more options.

A yellow and red hex worked well for anchoring. Quite useful for going fast and light, too.

Me on The Eye just before sunset

Saw this weird thing in the cave, about 3ft long. It looks sticky. I did not go near it. Anyone know what it is?

Don't get lost!<br>
