3 out of 5 stars Nice route

This route is more or less a more sustained Pony Express. 1st pitch is easy for the grade, 10c is full 10c but I never found the 4" placement, 10b is one move with a couple of fun sections. In the 7 pitchs I think we placed 10 peices and I skipped about 10 bolts as well. Thi route is over bolted and you can find some gear placements within 3ft of some of the bolts.

The crux pitch is sport bolted and fun with thin climbing in spots and good foot work.

You can easily link pitchs, with a 70m rope I recomend 1 and 2, and 3 and 4.
