First time rockclimbing
It was on this mountain, and I'm quite sure it was this route. We rapped down and then went up. I was instantly hooked. Me and a friend had bumped into a group on a hike, they were climbing. I pretty much didn't know that rock climbing existed. Fell in love.

Great Warm Up
Great warm up route and good for the new trad leader (such as myself). The route is a bit dirty, but the pro is pretty good and the holds are fantastic, especially the top half. The view is unbeatable as well!

First Outside Climb
This was my first outside climb, I have been training in the gym for a while, but never been outside. I drove over after work, so it was the only route I could get in before it got dark.
