Anybody out there done Giggles? If so, I was hoping to get a little more beta than what is offered up in the Guidebook. Such as:

-true rock quality/quality of route?
-does it truly weigh in at 5.8 (since being FA'd by Lowe) or is it a might harder?
-can any pitches be combined?
-anything specific about the rack needed beside "standard rack"?
-descent?

thanks in advance

Its been about 10 years but I remember the route being alot of fun and 5.8 seemed fair for a Lowe route. I remember climbing on face features outside the 'fat cracks' but using them for pro. You descend to the notch to the south and down the couloir/gully from there or you could continue up the ridge to Lone Peak. Did this a couple of years ago with ski boots on - exciting! Its beautiful up there!
