| This route is one of the very best at the Ridge. Steep and clean- technically engaging and continuous - this one is as good as they come . |

| Excellent technical movement on incredible rock. Superb! The mantel at the roof before the headwall is a tad easier for shorter folks. |

| I had more success on this climb than on many other routes at Thunder Ridge. I think it may have been because I was terrified of falling! My belayer was purposefully not looking at me, doing so would have caused him to stare directly into the sun! This is a good one for crisp temps.
One of my favorites at Thunder Ridge! |
