fun and consistent
Great fun manny, I can see you put a lot of work into cleaning and planning the bolt placements, it's not just a good route for camelback, it's a good route period.

Great Way to Spend Easter
Really well protected 3 pitch 5.10b in shade towards the end of the Headwall. We free soloed first pitch as it was barely 5th class. 2nd pitch is long with sustained 5.10 movements. One VERY hard spot for shorter people but my 6 foot tall partner had no problem with it.
3rd pitch very easy and short to get on top off headwall. Rappel off of 2nd pitch is long and just barely reaches the ground with a 60 meter rope so be cautious!
Really fun route, sustained, and in the shade but still a little chossy so wear a helmet when you're belaying!
