5 out of 5 stars got it, second time trying.

I tried onsighting this about a month ago and was very frustrated by the second pitch crux. Tried it again today and was very pleased to send it on my initial attempt. The move out of the alcove is committing if you don't know what comes next because you are unable to see anything that comes next...that said it is a great feeling to get it under my belt- I look forward to doing it again!

3 out of 5 stars Jaundice Viscera

Another groundbreaking McCarthy route, he said that putting this one up made him believe that climbing harder than 5.7 was possible. Committing moves with great positioning - definitely a test piece for the grade. There's a section of loose boulders below the second pitch alcove.
