helpful tickmarks
There was an obvious tickmark indicating a real key placement. Would I have sent this route without it? Who knows? Guess I'll have to call this one a flash rather than an onsight. Bomber pro the whole way but it took some thought to place it. Fantastic climbing. Not too strenuous for 5.12.

what a dance!
I concur with prior post. TRed many times before mustering courage to fiddle with tiny gear on the lead. It felt much more exposed leading through summit roof than when on TR. Not for the faint of heart or folks lacking patience to fiddle with their nuts!

Finally lead it!!
I TR'ed this thing many times and have never fallen. Spicy,run out at crux. When I finally did it on lead it wasn't to bad but I did Elvis a bit. I knew that I had it though!! Im psyched to have RP'ed it though. Great,technical route!
