big gear and anchors Top roping would require a trad anchor, the anchors will get the rope stuck on the flakes so be very careful of the several flakes.

4 out of 5 stars Loved this route

You have a good view of the whole area as you climb. Would be an awesome lead I will do in the future. I wasn't able to get to the hard crack above due to the top rope getting stuckon flakes. So in order to top rope it, I would put a piece in the top crack to redirect the belay ropeto keep the rope out of the flake. The part I climbed was a 5.6+, but I was told the crack was a 5.10 crack when they setup the top rope.
