Solo ascent by: williamkkelley on 2013-01-18 (View Climbing Log)

Aid Solo 5.3 A1

Did a Aid Solo up this route and kept a list of all the gear I placed. Put together a couple of moves in the middle at around 5.6 and finished free the last 20 feet at 5.3. After top out there is a 15 foot chimney around 5.3 that I climbed unprotected to get over to the walk down or rap anchors. The rap is more than 30m from the anchors to the right of right ski track.
Gear used:
Camalot: 4, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, .75
Metolius Power Cam 8, 7
Metolius Master Cam 3
BD Grapling Hook (mostly just for fun)
Several pieces were used multiple times. The #4 Camalot was really helpful for protecting the easy moves up top, otherwise you might need to run it out to the finish.
