Pitch one of Cross-trainer. Lots more fun than the vegetation makes it look. Nice pockets were lightly sprinkled along the way giving the climb an Easter egg hunt feeling. <br> <br> The crux was a short bulge above the fifth anchor. Two very close bolts. It is harder than any 5.6 in either Eldo or Yosemite.

Robert Machina leading the last pitch (5.7). There is a rappel anchor just beneath where it gets steep.

Mari scrambling to the summit. The scramble is a fun little extension, the views alone are totally worth it.
New anchors for belay and rap.
