Hate traverses. Prefer Directissima Direct and CCK Direct.

Top pitch of Nurse's Aid - super exposed and airy

Middle pitch of Erect Direction - hard

Tennish Anyone - thin

The finish on CCK direct is a traverse from right to left after finishing up the flake.

Adding another vote for Hawk P2. Bucket holds, just enough pro to protect the second, and a great feeling of exposure.

Unless I missed it no one has mentioned the second pitch of Modern Times. Fun, exciting climbing with great holds, position and exposure.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
