Comments: AWESOME!!!
sooo classic. I agree that the 11b is normal for the grade.
The second pitch is one of the best pitches I've ever done.

Comments: I agree with the above, this climb is worldclass. If you ever work a 13b, let it be this one.

Comments: it took us 2+1/2 days. We was our first bigwall and the 2. time we climbed together. I led everything while he hauled and cleaned.
I freed everything up to 5.10. Above I aided, which I hadn't done before often.
We fixed up to sickle. If you start counting on the ground 3 days are really relistic.

Comments: I think this climb is 11d on lead, because you can't really rush trough it. The pro is very solid, but strenuous to place, no doubt.
Having a good endurance and taking his time with pro is KEY.

Comments: alien are definitely useful, as well as TCU's. Anything small will do though. If it's hot, and you're no good at pure crack climbing, then the final pitch is going to be the crux, it is in the sun when you get there unless you're super fast and have an early start.
Every pitch is awesome, but the crux pitch and the one after it stand out.

Comments: I wouldn't call P5 R, the gear is thin but pretty good, bring aliens.
The climb is awesome. All pitches might not be 4 stars out of 4 but the location is just perfect, an pitches 1,2,4,5 are consistently amazing! Pitch 2 has some funky fixed gear.
get on it, really good outing when you're back from a bigwall and you aren't up for more hauling and want be on the big stone.
