4 out of 5 stars .

1st try 3/24/09
2nd try 7/18/09
3rd try 7/26/09
4 attempts 9/6/09. one hang at the last bolt.
9/12/09 provisional redpoint, if you count a victory whip as a send, LOL. I was hanging out at the anchors for a while, could take one hand off, touch the draws, but could not pull out the rope because of bad body positioning. Still not quite a send in my book, so I am going back to it.

9/28/09 sent the first go of the day. I don't know what my problem was before, LOL. The scrunched-up rest just below the last bolt was the key, I think I figured out a short-person-only rest spot on Chainsaw!

5 out of 5 stars my first route at the 'lode

did not feel as crimpy and pumpy during the rp attempt. Proper efficient beta is the key.
