4 out of 5 stars Ed Begoon strikes again!

If you thought the slabbier, headier Party route was great, try this one. Continuously engaging route with good gear that's widely spaced at times. Only needed one hand-size placement, but double ropes would've been great. Slinging my leftmost gear long -- more gear even farther left was available -- proved good enough. Had I clipped the bolt and subsequent gear with 24" slings, the rope drag would've been fine.

3 out of 5 stars Followed this

looks like a very scary lead. Hard 10 moved above thin sketchy gear. I was glad to be cleaning it.

5 out of 5 stars Great moves, heady route

Excellent face climbing with many technical gear placements. It's all there, just hard to get. Used Lowe balls, small offset aliens, small cams and 3 #2 Camelots. Recommend double ropes.
