5 out of 5 stars great climb

seemed more 'hand crack in the back of an offwidth/ squeeze chimney', than it was 'hand crack'. still an amazing route and very fun....and sandbagged!

5 out of 5 stars Ascent note

All except the third belay are bolted, which kind of threw us off as all the belays could easily have been on gear.

The approach was pretty straightforward and the climbing was a lot of fun.
