Free Blast is hard.
I led every pitch. linked 1 & 2 and then stuck with orginal pitches after that. Great route! I advise on taking some offset master cams or some offset tricams for the fourth pitch pin scars. They are fingers size.

Great
Multiple cruxes with varying styles. Getting into the last chimney is tough.

Skin O my teeth.
Couldn't believe I got the onsight after hearing how hard it is form everyone. Thought the .11b roof was the crux but found the first slab pitch to be much harder. The rest seemed to be pretty uneventful. Well protected and strait forward climbing for the most part. The half dollar pitch was a bitch though, must have missed something getting into that thing. And 5.8 chimney my ass, I've lead .10 chimneys that were easier than that thing.

fun, but hard
reachy through the slabs where a bolt is missing (but still doable), free climbing was amazing. great route.
