Clean ascent = Sweet revenge

Great climb!

very fun

This route is what moderate climbing should feel like. A lot of fun, good gear, and minimal effort make this a fun single pitch option at Cathedral.

Fell all over it on lead and raced right up twice on TR. WTF?!?!

A really great climb. Did an all nut ascent because my partner had pumped out placing an overload of gear. A little hard at the grade.

best way to finish thin air; great gear.

Fun first real crack lead.

.

so basically you could do this route with doubles of an entire rack or just 9 #1 cams, find a spot you want to put gear and make it fit. if you get sucked in to all the possibilities you will get pumped out trying to place. the stances are good but this is dead vertical most of the way so dont waste time, plug and chug. if you are feeling good near the top give any interested tourists a show at the hero jug , ya know, one arm hangs, or even plank it out, this thing is bomber. Oh and this climb has an argument for racking off the harness; if you stick with the gear sling just dont get cams/nuts stuck while you are pulling the crux.
