Description:
This is a fun route, it gets a bit trickey on the traverse. Climb a short easy pitch to a ledge at the base of a huge corner system with ceilings at the top. Pitch 2 climbs the corner system and traverses left(towards a pin in the face) to a right facing corner, which is followed to the GT ledge. Pitch 3 climb some corner systems past a few overhangs to the top.

Fun climb!
Very fun climb. It was one of my first traditional leads and I have good memories of it. I was aware of the traverse route finding and I still climbed about 10 ft. too far up! It was no problem down climbing though and I found the old pin and saw the, then obvious, ledge to go out to.

tricky route finding
Followed by somewhat sparse gear on the traverse. That said, it's a delightful climb. Not sure I would put a Newb on it...

Truly my delight as a beginner
Flan led. I became aware of the phenomenon known as "Gunks grades." The traverse is fun and getting through the gap to the belay ledge was a bit tricky.
