Wet day
Nice quick climb with a nice start but with Kens Waterfall going to the left of it this climb was a little wet!

very interesting "7"
I found the bottom crack moves somewhat awkward. Loved the knife edge, thought some of the climbing above the overhangs to be more difficult than it look like it should be. In fact, the climb looks "easy", but, it's more awkward than easy. Interesting climb. Lots of gear, other than the knife edge move.

Trapped
Some good, thoughtful moves. I really liked this climb and am putting it in queue of routes to lead.

A bit hard for the grade
This should be rated 5.8.

Trapped Like a Rat
I'm glad I'm not alone on this one. This is the hardest 5.7! I used the crack. I cursed and screamed my way up this one. I even declared that I was going to quit climbing. To which Jitka said "it is not even over yet" when i got to the big ledge I was pretty freaked to climb the arete. Got up it moaning and groaning. This was harder than most 5.8's and equal to most 5.9s. So glad I didn't lead it!

None
A previous commenter said the crack is 5.9 and the face is 5.7. I've tried many times to climb the face and I can't, but I've climbed the crack several times.
I've *almost* done this climb clean. There is one piton near the top, I just keep having to stick my finger in...
5/5/07 - climbed without using the piton!

Trapped Like A Rat - 5.7
a hard short climb, and much harder if done sloppy.

Ascent Note
Hard, but very cool. Climbed it wet, and fell a bunch of times. Gear looked good. Should DEFINITELY lead this one next time.

Ascent Note
Hardest 5.7 I've ever climbed. One fall from slightly left (thank my lucky stars) and above the big ledge. This route freaks me out. First climbed it in a cold drizzle (Oct) and couldn't get off the ground without aiding. Went back and lead it in April in nice weather and still took a short fall. Same day I lead 5.8s and a 5.9.
