5 out of 5 stars Aggressive climb

Pumpy first pitch. IMO that's where the business is on this route.

Good route. Second pitch is easier than .11 if you go left instead of straight up. A bit exciting as you could factor-2 onto a sketchy belay. First 2 pitches (we did them as one) seemed a bit burly for .10-, but maybe that was because I was carrying all of Paolo's camera equipment. He stayed on top to shoot photos of Chrissy and I (well, mainly just Chrissy) on Easter Island as the sun was going down.

The "nice hand crack" is really about # 3.5 freinds and goes even wider before the belay. The crux move is seriuosly height related i personally thought 10d, but my partner is about a full 6" shorter than me and he found it to be right on the grade. I also like the step acroos at the top of the crux airy, classic good times.

Face moves to summit are not that hard.
