4 out of 5 stars interesting route. a little grunting ensued...

bring some #2s, #3s or bigger. I combined WP pitches 2/3 and only used a #2 and a big red BD stopper to protect. spicy! good route.

5 out of 5 stars may the rain send you up

I have a tendency to lead routes to the top in the rain adds a little focus hehe. Great climb definitely of width was bigger than my forearm ha! A little interesting finding an anchor at the top

5 out of 5 stars Nice roof!

Climbed Conn's west, then rapped back down to start West Pole. Roof was harder than it looked...

5 out of 5 stars Fun Climb

Fun climb. A bit streuous at the crux. Easy to protect. I used a 3.5 BD cam and a #10 hex for the crux. It's a fun way to stretch out a 5th pitch to get to the summit ledge.
