I enjoyed this route. If it were higher, it would be stellar; as it is, it was "merely" excellent. If it were in the Trapps, there would be a conga line on it every weekend. However, I can't say that I'd recommend it due to the truly horrid approach. The approach trail has to be improved, especially the section behind the retaining wall. The scramble up to the routes could use some work, as well - perhaps crude steps? Maybe markers for the routes themselves, like they do in the Blue Mountains (Australia)?
In short - enjoyed the climb, even though it was covered with fern and lichen. Hated the approach - and probably won't be back.

Awesome route to start out free soloing. Very wet and mossy in fall. Great for a beginning lead. This was my first lead.

This is a really nice 2 pitch route. The views of the gap are amazing. You will need 2 60 meter ropes if you want to rap down from the top.
