Protection Gear to 2"

| Eight Is Enough is a fun climb but not a casual lead. Siddhartha makes a much better introduction to the grade and the protection is plentiful.

| Very scary for a 5.8. Fun and interesting movement with great stances for placing gear. Make sure to get a few pieces of gear under the roof because the ending although juggy is a little runout.
Keep an eye out for loose rock there are a few loose chunks in the corner. |

| For an experienced leader setting up a TR for relative newbies, the sparseness of the protection made this route pretty cool! I thought there'd be some bolts up there so I only brought three cams (.75", 1" and 2"). I put the 2" in about 40' up and then slotted both of the other ones just below the finishing bulge. Fun! |
