Description:

A Sugarloaf classic. Some parties only climb the 1st pitch, fun 5.8 flakes. P2 has a 5.9 offwidth section that's well worth the effort.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome crack

Really fun climb, great protection everywhere. Have I had the #5 bd, I could have used it at the top near the finish (used # 4 instead). save a runner to extend your piece at the crack near the near the top. (Only did first pitch 10/15/10.)
I have climbed this route multiples times now and I have never used the #5. I also finished to the top and believe me on this one you don't want to do the second pitch. Finish on a different route or just go down it is not worth it. (3/24/12)
