rallen's Logbook (6 ascents)

Nice climb- I only used Camalot # .5 to #3 (one each), no nuts, and twelve to fourteen runners. Use the cams on the first two pitches to weight your runners, I only needed the cams on the ledge (not really, but you have to go up a small chimney type ramp, and the rope off your back was worth the protection hassle) and on pitch three. Very nice climbing, but getting to the route on the ledge was a little nerve racking. I never found the bolt for the pendulum, but it was very easy to lower from the anchors about 15 feet, and then cross over. Note: Be careful of rope drag on pitch three. You do a large zig-zag, and if you do not use those slings (maybe two) it gets a little heavy.

I did not lead, but plan on going back and giving it a go! Great route, the first pitch is a little enduro (the hardest as well), but pretty cool. The second and fourth pitch was fairly mild. The third pitch wasn't hard, but WOW! Lots of fun. We didn't do the last pitch, ran out of time. The route was pretty well bolted, only a few places of runout.

Cool route, good quality rock. Pretty vague as to the route, but solid climbing all the way up. There is also two or three nice looking sport routes up the face that looked like fun as well.

The first pitch is all trad, until arriving at a bolt just under the anchor. The rest of the climb is only bolted in short areas with runout on the easy climbing. Not a hard route, but I thought it to be a little more commiting than it is rated.
I took two sets of camalots from #.4 to #1 and some med size nuts. Worked well on the first pitch, but hardly needed anything else the rest of the way up. When you arrive at the ledge (pitch 5?), climb up into the Chimney area and look on the northern wall. The bolts are hard to see, but there is a horizontaly bolted line that will take you out of the chimney area.

Not sustained, and alot of fun. The Crux is below the roof. Well protected (Bolted).

Not a technical climb, but worth diong. The Cleaver itself was the crux, with harder route finding in the dark. I thought the route to be overly crowded.
