4 out of 5 stars The prettiest line you ever did see.

What a great position. Winter sun had the left hand hold feeling warm and cozy while the right were frigid..

5 out of 5 stars Sustained and fun

Had to take a break before the last two bolts... Awesome route. It was super windy and nobody wanted to clean the route so I had to climb it again in super gusty winds.

3 out of 5 stars first route of the trip

this one gets a lot of traffic, the holds at the top are pretty greasy

5 out of 5 stars A really fun climb.

Bill set up top rope for me and with Jennifer on belay I struggled my way to the anchor chains at the top. Thanks to you both.
