2 out of 5 stars Fun, harder 1st P new

Thought the 1st P was hard for 5.5; the rest of the route was okay. Roof on pitch 4 was tough, but protected well.

Did this one with Rory and in two pitches on the way up instead of three. Seemed to go fine. Three raps on the way down.

5 out of 5 stars Best climb this year...

We tookoff on this one and Tadan (13) lead the whole thing... I was sketchy on P1 but then it was cake... the book made us worry about the Crux on P3 but it was pretty easy and it was fun...

4 out of 5 stars Fun!

Climbed this one with Andrew and Joby. Andrew led the second pitch. The roof on the third pitch is a fun one that is not too difficult. Got rain just after coming off.

5 out of 5 stars easy and fun

P2, 5.3 does not have a ton of gear. Not sure it would be great for a brand new leader.
