[Hide Comment] Good route for a beginning trad leader. Originally I thought the route was unsafely run out at the top but the gear is there. By the time you have to run it out is is less than vertical on baseball size holds. Single rack and offset nuts adequate to protect this short climb. Jun 13, 2021
