5 out of 5 stars Amazing

Always in shade, nice run out to belay mantle. We bailed after first pitch because it was too cold.

4 out of 5 stars Fun but confusing route finding

I lead the entire route and go so lost on the second pitch had to down climb at least three times. But in my opinion if any of my variations had panned out they would have improved the route. I ended up doing the "scary exposed traverse" as the super topo calls it just because for the life of me the higher traverse was not there. It was exposed and unprotected but on jugs and no biggie. 3rd pitch we linked into bears reach and there are two harder 5.8/5.9 moves but I've lead them before and they are easily protected.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing

Some kinda scary run outs, i agree with most that the most difficult portion is the route finding on the 3rd pitch. I'm not sure but I think did the 10b variation or were completely off route. Also the super topo told us to only bring one set of cams and my partner ended up setting up an early belay station before the 3rd pitch ended because he ran outta gear. I'd bring two of the suggested cams.

4 out of 5 stars Fun n easy

Really fun route, we did the 5.9 crack by accident and it was a pretty exciting but there is good protection but a fall at the top of the 5.9 crack with out a good piece is a bad idea (reason for the pg13), the rest is G-.
