4 out of 5 stars Sick Traverse

3 pitches. I led the last short pitch. I remember the belay after the first pitch had some fragile rock - excercise caution. The traverse was very heady... even to second.

5 out of 5 stars One of the best routes at Bon Echo

Led all pitches after having followed this route on my first visit to BE in 1999. You'll never forget the traverse to the end of all things on pitch 3.

A pin has come out on the traverse, the second should be solid on 5.7

What a climb to onsight! Had a hard time route finding on 1st pitch, after that the route finding was okay.....I was just terrified! 3rd pitch traverse is airy, but enough fixed gear that something owuld probably catch me.

Took James on this (twice I think) and made him lead the first pitch one of the times. I knew he liked traverses :p
