3 out of 5 stars really fun route

but do we really need move by move beta on the route description? let people figure out the moves on their own...
classic gorge sandbag, well worth doing if you're up for the challenge.

5 out of 5 stars Hyped!!!

Been saving this one for the onsight.. finally felt I was ready, and down it went. Super fun climb, and definitely not a gimme.

Onsight Onsight ascent by: Abaddon on 2009-03-20 (View Climbing Log)

3 out of 5 stars Orange what?

Pretty sure we were on the correct route. Took the bolted line on the right, up to the first belay in the crack/pod... offwidth heaven/hell after that, depending on who you ask. Can be done in 3 or 4 pitches, scramble down the back of the saddle at the top to the rap anchors. One 30m rap gets you to the ground. Definitely was not having fun leading the steep chimney/offwidth pitch, but on the way back to the car I was thinking "hmmm... that route was kinda fun"

4 out of 5 stars very cool!

First pitch was ok and not that memorable, but the jug traverse on P2 is awesome!! nice and exposed, and an amazing summit. Perhaps a bit intimidating for the grade.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!

Super fun, pumpy face climbing. Had to hang on the rope once, to my dissatisfaction, I did right before the no hands rest. Bummed i didn't get the onsight, but I will definitely be back for the redpoint.

3 out of 5 stars Didn't think it was as good as the book said...

Probably a lot more fun for a beginning leader just breaking into the grade, as the climbing eases considerably after the bulge. Okay for a warm up or if your waiting for another route at the belt. FWIW, with my 60m, my belayer(standing on the ledge) was just able to lower me to the ledge, maybe my ropes a meter or two longer though. TIE A KNOT IN THE END!!!
