2 out of 5 stars Way more scared then I should have been.

Having lead stuff more difficult than this, I was more scared than I should have been. Problem was, I was slab climbing and not used to slab climbing so I didn't rust my feet. I zigzaged all over the place looking for more positive ledges. Led up to the rappel bolts under the pillar at La Teton. Definite redo!
