12 or so placements. Who says no pro? Tricams, offset cams give more options.

Great shot of The Eye

A good view on the route. You just stay a bit right.

A yellow and red hex worked well for anchoring. Quite useful for going fast and light, too.

View from the top. First outdoor climb! Follow Trad. Amazing fun!

Looking up the route from the base

The Eye.

starting up the steep part, just keep telling yourself "It's ONLY 5.1"<br>
Seriously though, it looks harder than it is. Amazing and huge in-cut holds appear as needed.

great climb. Nice crack in the celling at the end of the climb for an anchor. Save 3 cams #2 and up for the anchor at the end.

Me on The Eye just before sunset

Saw this weird thing in the cave, about 3ft long. It looks sticky. I did not go near it. Anyone know what it is?

Don't get lost!<br>
