| Not sure where the PG-13 grade came from on this one, but my guess is it's probably because of where you belay -- you belay from a ledge about 15' off the ground with potential for a nasty fall for everyone involved if the leader bails off early in the climb. Place a piece or two on the ground to secure the belayer and you're all set. The gear is excellent all the way up the climb, definitely not PG-13.
I used doubles of 0.75 C4s and 0.5 C4s.
Great climb!! Crux is down low and it's tough for the first 15 feet or so but after that it cruises beautifully. |
