Goes clean, a lot of fixed gear is a time bomb though - old heads, rusted pitons. C2F.

4 out of 5 stars A good intro to vertical aid climbing

Fun climbing but terrible hauling at the top. Take a ledge if you plan to bivy on the route, the ledges are mostly sloping or poor. I led the 10th pitch all free w/ 5.11a liebacking up the golden corner before moving into a chimney slot & belaying back on the left for easier hauling.
