4 out of 5 stars So much fun.

Lots of fun on that one, wish more people climbed it so it would be cleaner. Good gear on pitch 2.

4 out of 5 stars Fun 2nd Trad Climb

My second trad climb after Knapsack. This one was much more fun. I think we kind of got off route and did something halfway between Deception and Deception Direct and it ended up being pretty fun. The first pitch starts off pretty easy but the second one gets more challenging and fun.

3 out of 5 stars Deception Direct

Spicy P2. Should be comfortable running out thin 5.9 friction moves. Nice route overall. Led P3.
