Really fun
Fun climbing with good protection. Be sure to bring two #3 Camalots and a #4, or some big hexes.

Top Rope ascent by:
burly lieback
This was pretty straightforward - you really just need to be strong to get through the stiff layback section. It starts where you come around the corner edge and continues all the way up to the end of the curve. From there it backed off a little but I was pretty pumped by then so it wasn't all cake. A number 3 or 4 seem to be essential pieces for the flake, although it'd be tough to let go and jam them in. Might be wise to try to keep one on hand to sink in above if you're about to fly off. Still, it was a pretty fun climb and if I'm feeling strong one day I may go back and try to lead it.
