Description:
a great free route to do in a afternoon...you should be able to handle all aspects of Yosemite climbing as this route has it all..chimneys, thin face, thin crack, mostly bomber gear with good belays make this a good route to do in prepping for bigger badder el cap lines..if you have a girlfriend this is the el cap to do with her...If you can bring a 70 meter rope and refrence super topo you can link belay station 1 to 3, 3 to 5, 5 to 7 with a little easy simal climbing, 8 to 10, 11 to 13, for a total of 8 mega pitches. 1st timers can expect a 12 hour day car to car.

Not worthy of being called an El Cap route!
The climbing is OK at best. Sure, there are a couple of good pitches but much of this route is slab hiking with vague defining features in the middle & up high.

Nice fall route
This was the perfect fall route--sunny and warm. The climb was wilder and better than I'd ever expected; people always talk it down, but it's actually a solid outing for the grade.
