Description:
A thin and commiting start leads to exciting and sustained climbing for three pitches. Steep and exposed, and the same grade as Lotta Balls, but much more bang for the buck. Edit: On March 23rd, 2007, the ASCA replaced 4 protection bolts on this route. Three on the first pitch and one on the third pitch. The first bolt is 1/2" stainless, the next two are 3/8" stainless, and the final bolt is 1/2" non-stainless. Thanks to Greg Barnes for the replacement effort.Descent Options:
Descend as per Lotta Balls.

Real Good
I thought this was better than Lotta Balls. More sustained, and more consistently fun. Interesting climbing all over.
