[Hide Comment] This is actually a good route for the grade. The rock is a little more friable down low but the second half of the route is solid and takes great gear. Aug 3, 2008

[Hide Comment] This was a really solid route for my first trad lead. I found great placements the entire way up, and the climbing was easy but enjoyable. Jul 18, 2024
