Description:
Originally went in 3 or 4 pitches, but with a 60 meter rope you can do it in two. Varied crack climbing. Pitch two has a fun, short section of bombay chimney. This is a nice way to approach the coffin. Two bolts with rap hangers are now at 200'. 5.9 Variation for second pitch (and third!) is great warm up for the Coffin.

Fun Climb
I think this climb was really fun, like my tenth trad lead. THe off-width chimney was really really awkward though, I almost would recommend just doing the first pitch. It's harder than a 5.7 move I think.

Got the 1st pitch done right before dusk, rapped from chains. Will have to go back for the 2nd pitch for the OW action.

first pitch i think is the best. the little offwidth section is ok, not hard, but after that the route goes downhill

The whole time I was climbing this I was thinking: "5.7 my ass!"
The LCC trad climbs are all sandbagged.
