Fun!

Runout on the 3rd pitch is the only bad part of this great route. 2nd pitch is excellent. Pitches 4 and 5 are easily combined. If you don't want the runout, do The Mutt and Jeff

great climb

fun route, better have good nerves. The traverse on the first pitch was easier than most people make it sound. The third pitch was a lot more run-out than I had planned. It was wet from snowmelt which made the friction in spots near impossible and I was getting 20ft above gear in several places.
