Fun climb the whole way up. Each pitch has something exciting about it. a bit scary in places that I felt should have been protected with a bolt and a fall would mean injury for sure. This is the area where your last pro is in some flakes below and you need to climb up and then traverse left on a dyke to the bolts but really there should be a bolt protecting that traverse. The last pitch is a 5.7 Layback and again if felt scary as the pro is very near impossible to place as you cant see anything, all big gear, and to place something would mean a risky barn door fall out. I basically had to solo that pitch.
