My first ever lead when it was still 5.6
lead it rope solo some time ago and thought I must be getting really bad. later saw the big block on the ground and heard that it is now 5.9 :-). seemed pretty easy for a mission gorge 5.9. I donīt think I could rope solo anyof the others.

Who Who?
I had to wait in line for awhile to get my turn on this climb. The bottom of the route is the hardest section. Bring a selection of med to large cams for pro.
