First Lead
This was really my second trad lead, first was second pitch of The Dihedral. The route gobbled up camps, crux was traversing to the anchors.
Traverse using the feature parallel to the top of The Dihedral for a hand hold rather than a foot hold, but place protection up higher in the crack. It will make you feel more comfortable making the traverse.

Great?
Well, for all the hype that I heard about this route, it was not that great. A good beginner trad lead I'm sure, but it did not meet my expectations. I had 4 or 5 years of anticipation built up and then I walked away slightly disappointed.
