5 out of 5 stars Black lung

Fun Climb to lead into the upper refuse climb. Finding good stances to place pro once you are in the crux is next to impossible. Had to through a cam in and just keep on moving. The crux is awkward more then it is hard. This is a fun climb though

4 out of 5 stars fun lead

Led w/ Leah seconding.
The crux sequence seemed a little long, without a good stance to place gear once you're committed. I climbed up and placed some gear before downclimbing and resting at a good stance, but was nonetheless a good ways above my gear by the time I was done.

4 out of 5 stars Good fun

Nice line but hardly strenuous for the grade. Beware of backups at the belay station. We got stuck for 2+ hours. Nightmare but worth it I suppose.

5 out of 5 stars Black Lung

Didn't find the "crux" move to be as difficult as advertised. It had an awkward feeling getting into it, but there was really no need to feel that way. Still, a much better first pitch to Upper Refuse than the 5.2 first pitch to the left. Highly recommended.
