3 out of 5 stars No big gear required.

Rope soloed this fun line. Just watch for a bit of loose rock and don't inhale the lichen. Stem and use the jugs outside the crack for the harder bits. Seemed to have been done before. Can be done with gear up to #3 Camalot, though a 4" piece is nice to have.
