To avoid an unnecessary pump and perhaps a bit cussing and spitting, climb past the anchors to clip them. Other than that, this is one of the best 5.10s in the canyon.

The new guidebook lists this as 80 feet, but that is incorrect. A 50 meter rope will not make it down. Great route.

The first clip is a lil' spooky. When in doubt stick clip, or be glad you have long arms.
