Top Rope Top Rope ascent by: teo916 on 2011-10-02 (View Climbing Log)

5 out of 5 stars Second favorite at the chief

This was a great route to top rope after leading Festus. This was more of a balance act than a real pumper, but there were some stout moves at the small overhang. There may be better routes at the chief, but these two were my favorites of my weekend trip. Looking forward to going back and trying some more. This is the hardest route I've yet to climb outdoors, so was a real trip for me to complete it without falling once!

4 out of 5 stars Fun Moves

I really enjoyed this route. It had a combination of delicately balanced moves and powerful stretchy moves.
