Greg lead the first 300 or so feet and I lead the remainder. Rapped off the route with one 60M rope. No rope problems or water at the base.

Fun easy climbing
Thought there were some fun bits in there. Did a variation off to the left of the first pitch that was probably not 5.1.

Fun solo
Partners bailed so I ended up soloing these 4 pitches. Really fun time repelling down the east gully into the Red Zinger area!
