Both
P1 is lean, P2 is mean, but both are within the grade (p1 may be 5.7). P2 has a bit more excitement and looks harder than it is. A fun and exposed route all around.

Worth the hike
Like it's neighbor, The Main Line, this climb offers two equally enjoyable pitches. Pitch 2 looks harder than it is and requires an exciting step over a chasm, but protection and holds are all there.
