Description:
Don't make this your first Trad lead-I did, and my ass is still tight. Up a buttress for 20' (easy) then a long 90' of thrashing in a corner and an exposed traverse, with no real reliable pro, for 20' and a scramble up to the ledge. Bomber turnbuckle anchors. Then up a 5.4 chimney, and a scramble to the top.

Great line, some thought-provoking moves. The upper pitch is a blast mostly because you can climb just about anywhere. I placed gear mostly just so my follower knew where to go!

If you climb this with a friend, make sure you get the first pitch, it is the better part of the route.
