Wyatt kind enough to be a rope gun for us on this amazing climb!

Here is the gear ~I~ used. I found decent gear in the crack high above the face climbin on the last wall after you step away from the bolts as you leave the chimney. Enough gear to instil confidence to keep moving, yet still felt PG-13/R Rated.
Here's what I used. A bit runout at the start with no pro.
