Somewhat awkward right-angling crack in between the first pitch of Upper Refuse and the first pitch of Book of Solemnity. Strenuous for the grade.

Fun Climb to lead into the upper refuse climb. Finding good stances to place pro once you are in the crux is next to impossible. Had to through a cam in and just keep on moving. The crux is awkward more then it is hard. This is a fun climb though

fun lead
Led w/ Leah seconding.
The crux sequence seemed a little long, without a good stance to place gear once you're committed. I climbed up and placed some gear before downclimbing and resting at a good stance, but was nonetheless a good ways above my gear by the time I was done.

Good fun
Nice line but hardly strenuous for the grade. Beware of backups at the belay station. We got stuck for 2+ hours. Nightmare but worth it I suppose.
