3 out of 5 stars fun route

I was freaking out on the traversing start for some unknown reason. All bomber gear though

Very interesting and fun lead with all the pockets. I'd like to do this again but use only tri-cams.

A committing lead for the grade, with a start that felt harder than 5.6. Keep your cool while you search for the solid and protectible pockets (there are a lot of pockets with thin walls that I wouldn't trust in a fall). Large cams help down low (I used a #4 C4 as my first piece). Most of the rest protects well with TCUs or tricams, although the protection gets pretty marginal in the last 12 feet or so.

3 out of 5 stars Um, yeah

Toproped it because I was skeptical about getting gear on the top half. Felt more like a 5.7 to me.
