4 out of 5 stars Wonderful route

Led P's 1,2,3.

We linked the first two pitches and the last two pitches(we were using a 70m rope) which made the route flow nicely. The cruxes are super fun and well protected and the climbing is varied and enjoyable. Note that there is a new "Hiking Trail" descent that avoids the dangers of the traditional "Climb Down" cave.
