All bolted, except for small section of Pitch 3. Bring a couple pieces that are 1-2" (BD 1 or 2 are perfect) and you are set.

Description:
First 2 pitches are enjoyable, bolted 5.8's. Mostly slab climbing, and pretty straightforward. The 3rd pitch is a 5.10a -a mix of slab and then a left-curving crack, and a tricky crux move at the top. Pitch 3 is mostly bolted, but has a pretty runout section on the curving crack - place a pair of cams (1-2") and you are set. The crux move of Pitch 3 is well protected with a high bolt. Lots of parties just do the two 5.8 pitches and head back down.Descent Options:
3 rappels - chains at the top of each pitch.

Great fun - 1st and 3rd pitches rock!
First pitch is a great 5.8 that makes you focus if this is your lead limit. Second pitch was unimpressive. 3rd pitch was an excellent 10a - two cruxes, one early on with a commiting slab move, then a second crux near the top as you work around a block on a slab. Take two pieces - one 3/4" and one 1" cam. Great finger rail leading up to the final crux!

Nice view of Leavenworth
A wee bit of run out on 2p. Start of 3p is nice and the finish is the crux. Small hands rule the climb.
