great day, great route
still fun when it's dry. The start and the finger crack are the crux of this climb. Belayed a lady who climbed it onsight, she echoed my enthusiasm for this route.

Top Rope ascent by:
The start makes this a "7"
Drippy, wet rock from snow melt/rain. Start @ crack left of Jim's throne, side pull and heel hook onto first small ledge. Shallow crack half way up requires sure footing. Climbed this at the invitation of two gentlemen from the DC area, thanks guys!
