| Though listed as a TR, this is a pretty good lead as well. The roof (crux) protects well but be prepared to run it out about 10-15' on good holds after passing the roof. The next good pro is a #5 Stopper in a crack out to the right where the next higher roof starts. Standard rack works well; nothing too big or super small needed. |

| I also think this is a good lead. I think the bottom part is pretty sustained for 5.7. Not a great climb for the blossoming 5.7 leader. |

| Can lead on gear, but be prepared to run it out after you pull the roof. Crack above the roof is flared and a solid 20 feet before you get another piece in. |

| Ditto on the runout. Not much happening after the roof. Feet are pretty decent, hands are ok. Wouldn't recommend falling on the second half. Just push on through and the finish tapers off. Moves are 5.7, but the commitment is much higher. |

| Climbed up the flake on the right of the normal route to add some excitement to the climb. |

| I second the runout. I hesitated for a hot minute just past the roof at a semi-tricky move looking up and not seeing crap for a good 15-20 feet. I placed a #0.3 BD C4 just before the runout and didn't at all like the idea of falling 40 feet on it. Tried to force a red C3 in the seam but ended up deciding I wouldn't even want take, much less fall, on it. BEWARE, budding 5.7 leaders!! I, Robot to the left would be much better. |
