Busy climb
This is a great beginner's climb with lots of exposure when you have to step around the corner. Fun.

wonderful, quality route!
actually Williams rates it a 5.4, which i think is fair. though probably not for the new 5.4 leader. P2 does require some focused route finding and either double ropes, or strategic slinging if you are on a single. the moves on P2 are committing and thrilling just bc of the exposure- the holds and gear are all good. when i did it, it was a soaking wet waterfall, which made it a bit more exciting!! however a new leader should watch out for this and make sure that P2 is looking dry.
climbed with beau. he led P1 and i led P2 and P3.

Pitch 1 Only
Did the first pitch after the significant 10/22/08 rockfall. The P1 crack is a great 5.3 with good pro. P1 was enjoyable.

Fun
You can do it with a single rope if you use long slings. if it ever re-opens that is.
