5 out of 5 stars My First Trad Lead!!!

Led the 2nd Pitch of Second coming. Great route! I onsighted it, so it was my chance to shine when it came to gear placement. Even though it says a 5.5, the crux felt more like a 5.6+
The top can be tricky with gear, the cracks become small to almost non existant. Top is an awesome scramble.

5 out of 5 stars A++

My first trad lead and multipitch lead. A great climb although the crux felt harder than 5.7 (probably due to it being my first trad lead). Just did it in two pitches. Second pitch was really run out although I finally found the bolts. A must do climb.
