Second Second ascent by: bluenegative on 2009-07-31 (View Climbing Log)

3 out of 5 stars First Outdoor Climb

The sandstone makes for some very insecure holds. Watch your rope, there are grooves on the route that will catch and rub. This also prevents a belay from above from feeling you on the rope. As a female my voice doesn't carry very far, if I did this route again I would take a two-radio so my belayer can hear me.

4 out of 5 stars not so scary

was fun route but not as scary as i thought it would be! only one hard move and then easy the rest of way! not a good route to do without a second! i had down climb and pull my gear on way down. scarier than goin up. overall a grat route. also done in one pitch instead of two due to not having a second

5 out of 5 stars Excelent Route.

I'm fairly new to leading outdoors and had no trouble with the difficulty of the moves. Easy moves physically, but mentally focusing. Found placement for a red tri-cam to help shorten the run-out, take an extra sling or two for the pot-hole. Bailed at the first pitch as this was my second's first outdoor climb, and she was very sketched out.

5 out of 5 stars sketchy rock.

while gear may give you confidence I doubt that it would hold in this rock.

5 out of 5 stars Beautful City Lights

Climbed it in the night, with a half moon. It was pretty psyching to see only darkness on either side of you, but it really lets you focus on the moment. A beautiful climb I will repeat again and again.
