FINALLY! So many tries... Love every bit of this route!

What can I say that countless others and countless magazine articles and trip reports haven't said. It is what the place is all about.

came up with a convoluted/horrible crux sequence.

Just simply a pinch not a sinch. The arete was fine for me, it was the lunge up that took a few tries.

A very nice route with some quirky moves. In my time, it was getting hideously polished. I can only imagine what it must be like nowadays. With CR, you fall into one of two groups: a) You get it easily in a few tries. b) It takes many, MANY attempts. Mine was a "b" category ascent. Most people blow it at the final move to the jug just before the anchors.

3rd try

great route.
