4 out of 5 stars Finally led P2!

After years of concern about flexing flakes on the infamous 2nd pitch, I finally got up the nerve to lead it.

4 out of 5 stars Sporty

Very exciting (tricky, esp. for vertically challenged) getting to 3rd bolt... but super fun.

5 out of 5 stars WOW!

Super fun, in spite of the aid pitch! Definitely recommend the wild long variation from panic point to the top of the monkey's head, vs. straight up to the nose!!

3 out of 5 stars Fun corner with exciting finish

Liebacks on lead always make me nervous, but solid pro and a clean fall line helped me talk myself into committing.

5 out of 5 stars Super classic adventure climbing

Adventure climbing at it's finest: tricky route finding, loooooong approach, bushwhacking, loose rock, sparse gear placements, trad anchors... but also no waiting, no crowds, spectacular views, and an amazing sense of self satisfaction when all done.

5 out of 5 stars Delightful way to start the season

Starting the first pitch in the crack, rather than on the face adds quite a bit of spice!

4 out of 5 stars Nice alternative to SE Face route

Great pro, nice moves. Stick to the left side hand crack for the best value, then take on Fear of Flying 10b or Jill's Thrill 5.9 from Snag Ledge.

Top Rope Top Rope ascent by: vespernine on 2008-07-26 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars High step & rock on!

Lots of balance-y face moves on bulges and ledges - makes a nice complement to the lovely crack climbs in the area. We topped it after climbing Mosquito & Phlemish Dance. Easier than it looks, but it is a bit tricky.
