Appropriately named
The beginning is a lot like the first 5.8 variation Pitch on the Nutcracker in Yosemite Valley with it's steep, layback crack. Then typical ORG slabby face. Great climb. Reach into the crask to find a nice rail for a move or two. Two takes. Hope to do it clean next time.

Good fun
I liked this route - it is strange clipping bolts beside a crack (I'm not complaning though). Fun!

Good Route
This route has character, begins with juggy sustained lieback to an interesting face. Definitely not 5.8!
