One of the most popular routes at Lower Scott. A runout beginning leads to good pro. Large holds exist until a crack crux move up high. A great route. First Ascent by Eric Forney.

4 out of 5 stars Yowza!- My first real leader fall

This climb gave me a run for my money. Took my first big lead fall on this one. Placed a yellow TCU about 3/4 up the route and had clipped it but didn't quite like it, so jamed my hand in the crack bellow (at the crux) and began to move up to check it out, my jam blew and I want sailing down about 20ft. I SHOULD have not fallen that far though, but my belayer was a newbie and there was a lot of drag in the rope making it hard to determine how much slack there actually was. It gave me a good scare.

The route makes you think though. It's a very sustained 5.7 and a hard 5.7 at that.
