We climbed this back in high school and it blew our minds. I'm still amazed by the quality of this route.

yup
Neglected to bring large cams for the big crack, clipped a broken bong at the bottom and went for it. I remember talking to myself the whole way up 'I don't want to die, I don't want to die'.
Don't forget to bring large cams.
