5 out of 5 stars Fun dime climbing

Just trust the feet and don't crimp down too hard. Everything's there. Fun mantel to the ledge where the anchors are. Didn't do the second pitch in the interest of time.

5 out of 5 stars What a mental breakthrough!

Scariest climb ever. Led the second pitch. Did a scary, must-not-fall move to make it to the second belay station. Had to dig deep to muster the cajones to continue to the crack above. Way run-out for someone used to well-bolted puss climbs. Hung in there and styled it no falls!

3 out of 5 stars Tough as hell move to get out of the crack

TR'd this one after Greg led it with one fall. Look for the hold on the right wall behind you for help with the move left to the arete and on to the top.

4 out of 5 stars Combination of gym type moves with friction moves

Loved the gym-like moves @ the bottom. Greg gave me the beta on the holds over the initial bulge. Had to take a breather b4 tackling the upper delicate moves. Great intimate setting.

5 out of 5 stars What a blast!

Ran up this at the end of the day's climbing with Greg. Led the second pitch. Thought there was more climbing after this pitch. Felt like I could climb forever. Most run-out roped climbing I've done. Awesome view!

4 out of 5 stars Fun monkey start to a short climb

Best part of the climb is the start. Fun flake pulling till you have to move onto the face. Slotted two small cams at the end of the crack. Easy climb.

4 out of 5 stars Heady climbing to get into dihedral near top

Great climb. Just enough bolts to make it go. Gotta get used to the run-out.

4 out of 5 stars Hard to follow

Followed Greg's killer lead. Had to hang to bang on some stuck stoppers. Tough climb. Much strenuous stemming.

5 out of 5 stars Fun lead with good pro possibilities

Took two falls on this one. One in the middle due to shakiness. One @ the crux near the top due to mild fatigue and screwing the sequence up. The rope got hung up when we pulled it. Had to do some monkey business to reach the high end of the rope and pull it down.
