Description:

A wonderful multi pitch. Only one move of .8 followed by hundreds of feet of easier climbing. Freehanging rappel. Be very careful throwing your ropes down on the rappel. There is a nasty flake down the right edge/corner that will eat up your rope if the wind is blowing.

5 out of 5 stars Soft rating, just do it.

A few hard thin face moves at the beginning. Rest of the climb is 5.6ish if you stay on route. Not a lot of gear needed, if you're comfortable running it out on easy ground. Bring a bunch of shoulder length slings. Don't bring really long ones like I did, and get tangled up pulling them off your shoulder.
Led pitches 2, 4 and 5.
