Description:
This is an extremely fun route with great protection. You should have two ropes to get down, according to guidebooks, but you can manage with one rope -- if and only if you swing (climber's) left on the rap. Be careful not to rap off your rope.

Fun Fun Climb
Love this climb. Lots gear and rests the bottom half. I pull the roof out left before the wide 4" section, but no gear to the top 40+ feet easy climbing.

liebackin' roof-rockin' and bonus runout face/slab
Spoilers ahead:
This was my first true 5.8 trad lead. I did a preview on TR and felt good about it so I fired up it. Oddly, I found the first 15 or so feet the hardest, since it was more serious lieback without much for feet there. I was worried I'd made a mistake since I wasn't on for 100 feet of that, but then the small foot ledges started to appear. From there it was climb to a stance and place gear every 10 feet or so more or less. The gear from here was pretty much mostly smaller cams until the big crack opened up. There I popped in a #4 C4 about as high up as seemed prudent for a good fit and liebacked up to the roof-over. There is a really nice thank god hold on top of the block and it gives you a chance to work in some small TCU in the little crack before you make your move. Not as hard as it seems to rock up, and from there there were a couple small cam placements possible before the anchors but if you keep your head it's not a big deal, easy climbing. Rapped down with a 70m and it exactly touched the ground more or less straight down.

awesome line
the moves up through the crux are the stuff dreams are made of. i didn't find any pro trending left after pulling the overhang. maybe it's better trending right.
