Description This is just right of the first pitch of the Standard Route. In fact, it shares the first pitch ledge with that route. This is a hard and scary lead. It use to have a single, fixed pin below the first section of 12 down low on the climb. You need to be fit to lead this. It makes a good TR.
Location This is between the Standard Route and Gonzo's Lament.
Protection Wires and larger to an inch or two. Hard to protect.
Monty starting up his excellent redpoint.

Finishing up the hard moves.

| Stellar pitch, it's all just barely there. Definitely a tough lead, but the gear is there, and it's good.
