Description:

The first two pitches are pretty dirty and mossy and not terribly fun. After that, it's 6 pitches of pure classic. Orbit is rated 5.8 or 5.9 depending which guidebook you are using. If you make the right mistakes, you can make it 5.9 :) It's probably worth mentioning that Orbit is a bit runout in places.

4 out of 5 stars woah

My first long trad climb. A little nerve wracking in places due to some long runouts and lots of exposure. Still a fun climb. Glad to be back down though

5 out of 5 stars awesome

Very nice climb with 4 good pitches that all offer good and varied climbing. Easy approach on obvious trail.

We started way to late, just made it down the decent trail before dark. If we'd known how bad the descent would be, we would have gotten an earlier start.
