Fun climb once you figure out the sequence i had a ring lock going on while heal hooking. the begining face is not that dirty.
and suck it up people and lead the route, you can clip the bolt before the hard moves and if you can get over the roof you are not going to fall later.

this climb is sweet, but unless you are aiding it you do not need as much gear as listed. i had, doubles from .5 to 3 camalot and then one of each of the following, green, yellow alien, 3.5 and 4 camalot. another 3 would have been nice but besides that my rack was fine.

yes, it is a sweet climb but you don't need as much gear as everyone is saying. double camalots .5-3 was solid.
