| The victim of the accident was Goran Kropp in 2002. You want to have at least one 3 inch and one 4 inch cam for this route. |

| No need for #4 camalot. With 2 #3 camalots you can leave one low and bump the other up with you for the short wide bit at the top. Really stellar climbing! |

| Much respect to Goran, he was an amazing athlete. With that said, don't be freaked out by the past accident. This is a fun, safe lead. Ditto the last post. I don't think the #4 is needed, and didn't need to bump up the second #3. |

| Kropp was indeed the man for getting it done. I still have the article somewhere and there is a picture of a broken biner. Some shockload or crossload went down that day.

| The first time I went to the coulee someone had taken a fall on this climb. Spooky stuff.
None the less it is one of the coolest cracks in area. |

| Fun. It is definitely well protected, though I was happy to have a #4 camalot up top. An old #3.5 camalot actually would have worked better... |
