| Although not critical for a 5.10 crack climber, a #4 Friend comes in handy at the brief section with fists. Throw it in and go--an awesome climb. |

| This pitch is the real deal; quality from start to finish. You could get away leading this without RP's, standard thin wires would suffice. This was my climbing partner's favorite climb in the Sandias and my second favorite (after Squash Blossom). |

| As the description says, I found the beginning very strenuous. Gear has to be placed from strenuous positions and no feet make for some insecure smearing moves. Nevertheless it's a nice classic. I loved the finger-locks on the beginning of the second pitch. |
