5 out of 5 stars Great Exposure, Good View, Nice Long Climb!

Bolt right where you need it. I looked around and couldn't find any protection and there was a bolt right in front of my face! Didn't have a 2nd rope to rap with, so we scarmbled to the 4th class gully and rapped off some trees.

Fun route. Lots of puzzles to solve, solutions I'd forgotten.

4 out of 5 stars Nice and long!

Good route - we ran into a bee's nest in the dead tree at the belay area after the scramble. Reach up and left for a pretty good crimp at the crux. Simul-rapp'ed on double ropes
