My favorite crack route.
I've done this many times over the years. Once we started at 10 am, and my partner was married at 1600. On my first ascent, I learned, long afterward, I was off belay while my Spanish partner shat. I remember woobling a bit up high, then pulling through. Feels it bit soft for the grade.

Fun climbing, easy approach.
Varied and sustained (Especially near the top). Great route. Did 11a 2nd pitch var. Linked 3/4 with 60m rope. Finished with 11b hands before the exit pitch.

Bring a #5 or at least a #4
Sustained little route. Lots of fun pitches with only a few shity ones (literally). Kinda lost interest and motivation toward the top. The whole route has a dark, dirty and dreary feel to it. Didn't live up to the hype IMO. Much harder than Positive Vibrations contrary to what the Supertopo would tell ya. It is still a really good route though. Just not the best Yosemite has to offer.
