3 out of 5 stars nice

Didn't blow me away, but interesting in a good way. Totally G on the safety rating. Follow the glue and you won't have too much choss to deal with.

3 out of 5 stars unique for Echo

due to all the laybacking, which is fun and gives it a trad feel. Not nearly as loose (anymore?) as previous comments suggest. Fun.

3 out of 5 stars p1 is classic

a sweet and beautiful layback
I disagree with anyone who says the first pitch in the big corner is classic. hardly worth it, esp. considering what else is near
didn't do the pit

5 out of 5 stars brilliant, technical, commiting

great sustained climbing
ripped a fixed nut on p2
p3 is harder than 5.8
a ballnut can be used where the piton used to be
