Excellent beginner trad lead
Good place to take people for a taste of trad leading. Route starts above the tops of the trees for a sense of exposure. Gear placement is excellent and varied. The entire route can be lead with all stoppers, or even all hexes. Roof can be easily avoided by a nervous leader.
