[Hide Comment] I only followed this but I'm going to comment and say it's under rated since there are no other comments here. Basically a harder Bonnies with more roof fun. Nov 22, 2022

[Hide Comment] Amazing link up. 3 solid roofs. Needed to set up a belay after the second roof because of rope drag (hard to manage with the zig-zag in the traverse).


Save a blue aline or black totem for the crux traverse left up to the second roof or it will be run out. Aug 12, 2023
