The engineering (crux) for this route: hammer, 2 nuts, and a whole lot of duct tape. I added a rip cord tied into a mule hitch to close the carabiner gate after clipping.

Bring the beers and some cards, the summit is a nice place to spend Thanksgiving morning.

Go! A speed ascent begins ... The rope hanging down is not being used.

Thanks for the beer K!!! Glad we got there before it got skunked! We came off the river on 4/14, drove by and saw you up there too.
