this is a good climb...
...however, this really should have an R rating. The "10a" (felt harder to me than some of the other 10+ routes at RB) climbing is a lot of strenuous tip lie-backing with poor sloping feet between better stances. This protects well. Once you leave the flake system and start face climbing (~5.9), it is very runnout (like 3 pieces of not so great gear in ~80ft). Beware of the very large loose block at the end below the roof...do not grab it. Once you're up there, check out Sugaree.

Nuclear Arms Ascent
Seconded Nuclear Arms.. beautifully awkward climb turns to runout as you get from the flake to the tree ledge.
