Description:
The first few moves start below the beginning of the diagonal crack, the start is essentially a boulder problem that makes getting good gear in difficult; you might want a spot. Exiting diagonally left gives good gear for an awkward mantle exit whereas a direct finish up through the tree is a little more exciting.

that is a fun climb!
took a fall on my first piece. oops. note to self... down climbing on jams can be tricky.
top mantle was tricky since all the rock was muddy and slick. fun stuff. =)
can't wait to go back and get it clean. sweet lead!

One of my Favorites at the Hill
After Top Roping this thing over and over, I finally plugged some gear - worked out for the best!

Parts near the crux were wet, making for desperate jams. Without a warmup, I was flash-pumped very quickly and hung. I'll have to come back for this one -- hopefully when dry. Great route!
Also, 5.8 my ass. There seem to be a couple variations, and it's possible that one of them I didn't take was 5.8, but the best-protected line would be stiff 5.8++.
