Description
This is a cool route. It's steep and intimidating for the 5.8 leader, but once you're on it, nice footholds appear to the left of the crack.Pulling thru the steep crux, two-thirds up, is exciting and well protected with a large cam in the crack. The upper third, which looks like a hike from below, is interesting, too. Walk off the back.
