F.A. George Allen and Ann Liebolt, 1980 (Colorado College climbers, Class of 1981)
The closest I've come to climbing this route was flying around it in a helicopter during the Hayman Fire. We could easily see the tattered rap slings on the summit, and the pilot wanted to try and land on top of the damn thing...fortunately, he didn't.
I remember George and Ann telling me that this thing was pretty wide - more like offwidth than fist at the crux. I think they may have carried a couple of tubes on the FA. Needless to say, their descriptions kept any of us from bothering to get the second ascent.
