| TR w/out a directional could be an ugly splat on the wall. |

| I thought this was a fantastic route -- really loved how it moved left out on the arete, then back right up the face split by the wide crack. Agree with the previous poster that you need to leave a bolt clipped as a directional for your second to follow on top rope. Nevertheless, this is a fun route, well protected, and worth the climb! |

| Be careful at the top!!! To the right just below the anchors, there is a a VERY large, chossy rock that could be dangerous. It's got an X on it already and could fall with very little effort. |
