4 out of 5 stars Heads Up about Soloing this

Don't get suckered into soloing this as a way to reach the top, unless you are very comfortable soloing friction...the last move to top this out is all friction, both hands and feet, and tends to freak a lot of people out. Lots of people are able to solo easily right up to the last move..at which point they think they are going to die. Just sayin...

Need lots of bigger gear for this one. Not a bad route overall.

After trying to lead this for the first time, at night, I was scared. Joey lead it again, making very sparse use of pro. I followed, and determined that I probably made the right decision not to lead it at night! (Joey wouldn't lead it at night either)

I lead this in 26 minutes on 3/8/03
