Second ascent by:
Not a bad route
Not a bad route. My partner went right by the first belay station (unintentionally) so we did it in 4 pitches. The second pitch (by the book) was the most interesting due to a nice corner. The rappel takes a slightly different route as it goes straight down. The last rappel station is under an overhanging roof so you'll have to trust that it's there.

boring
This route has been bolted into submission, very small rack needed, mabey a 2,1,.75.5 and a few nuts, you can get away with less. can easly link pitchs 1,2 and 3,4. You can find alot better routes on this cliff than this one.

Ascent Note
The day was warm and sunny, so we wore shorts and T-shirts.
Andrew led this. He complained about the run-out, but the waves of rock seemed to localize the climbing to just a small section at a time.
There's a "steep traverse left" on the third pitch. It's under an overhang, and the space in there seemed dark and gloomy and forbidding.
I love the grey-waves of rock on this little mountain. The rock has lots of texture, and you can expect a lot of rope drag. But we used my new "Maxim Apex" rope, which cut down the rope-drag.
