good times
I led this thinking it was going to be a chill warm up. Nope. Ended up being on the route for like 40 minutes. None of my gear was any good, and I just couldn't keep it together very well. Still held on for the onsite but wouldn't recommend this to new 5.7 leaders that don't have bigger gear.

Make sure it's dry
We'd had some rain, so the crack was wet when we climbed it. Kinda hurt, and I slid off the last hard move at the top of the crack. D'oh! Probably deserves a 5.7+, as it is pretty burly through the top half.

memorial day weekend
most of my pro was sketchy - offwidth and shallow finger crack did not inspire confidence. five people watched and no one wanted to second. seems a challenge for the grade to lead.
