tricky moves

Excellent climbing, longer than it looks on the approach. Seemed to be in 4+ conditions.

Got on this fine route with a complete lack of endurance training. Got pretty tired towards the end. I was doing most of the leading as my partner wasn't feeling well. At the last crux pitch, she stepped up, dug down and unleashed her grrrl power, complete with animalistic vocalizations on the beautiful finger crack. Our apologies to the hikers 900 feet below if any of them were forever scarred by those noises - it's just how she climbs.
This is a fairly big route, especially when you consider the canyoneering descent (in the dark in our case). Possible to make all the raps with a single 70 if you don't mind the hanging belay from a single bolt. It would be great if someone added a 2nd bolt there. The tree that starts the raps looks small before you get to it. It's about 60 feet from the slot canyon.

good route, not recommended on the weekends.

solid ice the whole way. Given a WI4 in the guide. More like a 3 or 3-

Good lead, but seems less than the WI4 given in the guide. Can tie off a good 'cicle near the top.
