Great route, however this route isn't going to be trad much longer. With the new addition of my Trango Flex Cam I welded in, there are two other pieces (not mine) which I couldn't remove. This just about makes the bottom half fully protect-able without placing anything.

If someone wants to head up there with a hammer and wedge, there is plenty for the taking. I also spotted another piece of gear on another route near Treiber's Deception, so that's four pieces. I would do it, but I am heading out of town for the rest of the month.

Oh, and if anyone can return my Trango Flex Cam, I will gladly buy the first few rounds at Four Peaks.

haha, the first .5 trango flex from the step across is mine. I'd make the trip down for some beer and reminiscing about poor trad placements. Or just hang out and bash trango.

Was there still a stopper stuck behind the ledge before the finish OW?

There was a red BD stopper just after the opening moves, right before you hit the slab... Next placement after my flex cam which was a poor choice in size. Pathetic might be a better description. Well, how about just plain stupid.
