Description:

Classic! 1st pitch-Long 10a pitch that is awkward at times. 2nd pitch-Must downclimb down and left from 1st belay to get behind a giant flake to start this pitch. Starts out as "dreamy" splitter hands which quickly shrinks down to sustained and hard thinhands corner climbing. This pitch sure felt harder than 10d. 3rd pitch-rock quality is suspect on this summit pitch, but climbing is easy (but exposed). Make a long step left prod by old bolts then up to the summit on sandy rock. Decent-rappel the route

Awesome 2nd pitch. My hands were thrashed from running multiple tapeless laps on Coyne Crack and Way Rambo in the previous 2 days, so I like to think I'd have sent had I been fresh, but who knows. Crux section was hard but not too long--place a green camalot and go for it for a couple moves. Above that is really great climbing with just enough features to make it manageable 5.10.
