Description
This was a fun climb. It is a great climb to practice OW technique. I felt it was pretty sustained throughout the offwidth part, so IMO it deserves at least a star. It eases way up at the top in a fun crack. It is a little dirty at the bottom, but gets much better after a few moves.
Protection
This route was a good 5.9 offwidth. The pro is good but you have to be be creative. Bring a standard rack of Cams with no nuts. It would have helped me if I had brought doubles of camalot .75-2. Bolt anchors on top, but you can also use a camalot 3.5 and 4 if bolts are occupied by someone doing "Bedtime for Democracy". Rap off back side.
