Ascent Note
after fixing to 4, we did the route in 5 days. I split the leading with javier and zack was dedicated "lower-out penji-man". We really had fun and besides getting a lead rope jammed on P14 there was nothing that went wrong. Placed about 7-10 pins. The ledge on P11 is more like a bivy for 2 than 4, the eye is a nice bivy for 3 (2 low and 1 at anchors) and the igloo at 25 is a stellar bivy for 2-3 and would be just fine for 4 people (3 tight in cave and 1 on block outside cave). You can haul to 25 (igloo) from 23 on a 60m to avoid hauling up the blocky 5.6.

Ascent Note
I allucinate with the rating for the aid routes. What are we supposed to say but hang dog! I aided all 26 pitches, either pull on pro for every single move or jugged a line. I took a fall, but in aid that is ok, not a bad style.
