This climb is the classic 5.11 lead in the park and an entrance exam to the harder, Devil's Lake leads.

The leader should be comfortable placing blind brassies in the right seem, all the while protected from groundfall by a sketchy pin (it actually faces downward). Upon reaching the security of a TCU slot, the climber will definately breathe a sigh of relief before tackling the crux moves.

If you can get to the TCU placement, the climb is well protected as the gear from that point on is good enough to save all the children in the world.
