Description:
Awesome route...Climb the next dihedral left of layback, go left around the roof and up to a belay. Go right around the arete and up the overhanging face (crux) to an overhang and belay. Climb the roof (hard) and scramble to the top.

Nice.
Tiff led P1. I linked 2 and 3. With double ropes, there is no reason to stop and belay. You could probably even link the entire thing, although it does wander a bit. The 5.9 section was very cool.

Grand
1st pitch is nothing to write home about but the face after you swing out around the corner is great.

Nice steep face section.
The steep face crux is very entertaining but other than that the route is just decent. The roof at the top is height related but definitely not as hard as the crux.

Lead the first and third pitches. Cleaned the second. The second pitch to the right of the arete is a bit tenuous and feels stiff for the grade.
