5 out of 5 stars Classic

This is a classic climb. A must do. Stemming, friction, and a whole lot of fun.

Onsight Onsight ascent by: milesenoell on 2008-06-24 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars long route

onsighted the first pitch to find that my rope is about 5 feet shorter than the rappel. No biggie. Onsighted up until my rope ran out 10 feet short of the second pitch's anchors, all in one shot and then downclimbed to exit. hard for me to rate since I'm new to friction/slab climbing, but the book said 5.9

4 out of 5 stars Fun

Nice climb. book calls it a 5.9. The second pitch is probably a 5.7, w/ a bit of exposure. The belay station is super comfy.

I led the first pitch and Jason the second.

4 out of 5 stars Long, but fun

I enjoyed the undercling flakes. Not your typical climb since there is a lot of counter-pressure and smearing.
