Flash ascent by:
Good trianing
I led this with a mixed group Mountaineers. Good route to introduce concepts of Alpine climbing. Great variety of styles between face, crack, offwidth, semi-chimney, pockets, knobs, traversing, scrambling, exposure, both bolted and gear anchors, etc. We even got rain and wind to round out the experience. Did as 3 pitches for better communication on the upper face.

Enjoyable route
Fun route with some exposure. Pretty cool to climb right above the road.

Catapult, Jello Tower Chimney, and Midway to the top. My first multipitch follow. Would be awesome without the road noise.
