5 out of 5 stars Absolute classic

Those guys in the falcon guide where right, the approach is tough but you are rewarded with some of the best rock around! The first pitch is a beautiful crack with the second and third pitch a little less like a crack and more like face climbing. These pitches are much harder to protect than the first, bring those dusty nuts, cams won't be as easy to place.

5 out of 5 stars Great placements for bolts.

Very intuitive, this route was a thrill after the classic jam crack!

5 out of 5 stars Classic route

Enjoyed that horrible chimney at the beginning of the second pitch! The belay station for the third pitch can be easy to miss, and don't accidentially get on the 5.9 variation if your not ready! It was heck for me and I followed.

4 out of 5 stars Run out bolts, but doable

So I will first say I didn't lead this, pretty scary with huge exposure to the south! I followed and I think some of the bolts are missing on this route. Once you get out of the cave the next bolt is at least 20 feet away, pretty scary if you ask me considering the drop off. Anyways, if you want to play it say take the east face about 1/3 the way up and look left, you will see the first bolt for this route, traverse diagonally to it and you will be on the route. Enjoy!

4 out of 5 stars Great views!

The climb itself is nothing special... But the fact that it is a pinnacle makes it fun!

4 out of 5 stars First 2 pitches great...

Lead the 1st and 3rd pitch. Almost impossible to find any bolts past the second belay station. Ended up traversing and bailing. I can't recommend the 3rd pitch (and 4th for that matter), but the first two give this 1 star

4 out of 5 stars Classic Mine area route!

I highly recommend this route. If you decide to make the trip to the mine area, don't leave without doing this route!

4 out of 5 stars Good holds

Also did the trad to the left of this climb. About equal in difficulty if you ask me.

3 out of 5 stars The east face makes this nice and warm.

Cold winter day! Rock is good. Didn't feel like this route was run out much. Overall a good warm up.
