Comments: You can really sew this up with medium to big gear--very reassuring for beginning leaders. Scott mentioned his #4 Camalot wasn't big enough, but I found a place to make it work...and even climbed higher and scooted it up, so I guess I found two spots for it. :)

Comments: The descent is tougher than the climb.

Comments: I agree -- a little dirty, especially if you wander right (which I did several times), but based on how many climbers followed me Sunday, I'd say the loose dirt and lichen won't last long. There are two short runouts through easier sections: between bolts 2 and 3, and between the last bolt and the anchors. But it's very doable.

Comments: Fun! If you're checking out the bolts from the bottom and it seems run out between the second and third bolts, have no fear -- there's a bolt between that you can't see from the ground.
PS, bolt number 4 jiggles a little. We didn't have a wrench with us to snug it up, sorry.

Comments: The info on this climb says: One pitch, 160 feet. Just to clarify, one pitch is accurate, one 60 meter rope will do. It's about 90 feet from the belay ledge to the anchors. And the most challenging part of the climb is the approach!

Comments: We weren't up for leading this one, but we put a toprope on it after leading Get Your Dieck Off My Barnyard Animals. Fun moves, and not too much drag for a TR.

Comments: In 2008, the chockstone is still there--and I still wouldn't crank on it! This is a short and sweet 5.8 that's easy to protect with an extra stopper and cam.

Comments: The hub and I did our first trad lead on the East Face. We started north of the two gullies per Roach's guide. Pro was thin off the deck but improved. On P2, I wandered right toward the exit for the last 60 feet or so, and while gear was thin to nonexistent there, the climbing was easy. The best part? It was a beautiful Saturday, and though we could see plenty of other climbers on the First and Third, we were alone on the Flatironette.
