4 out of 5 stars Hidden hold above 5th bolt

double-check everything. I nearly tried to rappel with one side of the rope.

For a TR anchor, I tied overhands a handbreadth apart on a long sling, hung it from 2 bolts, and clipped a 'biner to each strand between the knots; an improvised equalette.

3 out of 5 stars Well-traveled, solid rock for the Pinns

Lots of features and the last couple moves are nice.

4 out of 5 stars nice

Definitly a classic but I'm glad I followed instead of led because of the runout at the crux.

4 out of 5 stars Fun!

Run out enough to add spice but solid enough rock to keep the runout from being unpleasant. Not strenuous; more about thoughtful balance and foot movement. Very fun!
