Ascent Note
Like climbing on glass. Sharp hollow flakes is what this climb is all about. Pull down and youll be fine, but there are a few large sections that are just waiting to fall off. Couldnt imagine on lead.

Ascent Note
Cool cool 5.8 face - the start is the toughest part but was kind of a mental breakthrough for me, because instead of thinking about it way too much, I just kept moving while I was fresh & moved right on up. those flakes are shaky-jakies, though! We had set up our rope anchors after Chris soloed "the nose," or "la nariz del oeste"
