Description:

Pitch 1: 5.9+ A0, 45m; Pitch 2: A0, 25m; Pitch 3: 5.8+ A0, 50m. Comment by Ryder: The rating for this climb is bizarre and completely paradoxical. The first ascentionists seem to have pulled on gear for the first pitch but were not able to free the easier 3rd pitch, which seems within their abilities given the ratings assigned to other climbs for which the FA bears their names, respectively. The 2nd pitch is also a mystery as simply A0. Regardless, this route can probably go free without much of an increase in grade (probably somewhere in the low- to mid-5.10 range.
