Description
This route has a rather difficult start (crux) for a 5.9+ rated climb. The lower section of crack does not protect well and is a bit awkward. Upon setting your first solid piece (right where a great finger hold is) cast off for the fun stuff. Make sure it is solid as hell because to pull means to deck rock below, not dirt). HB offsets ruled the rock! After pulling the crux, the route eases up considerably.....With the other routes near, west facing rock, rare to find people there....recommended!
