Description
Protection
There are many horizontal seams that will take small nuts or cams, and one small crack underneath the large roof.
Recently, several climbers have taken serious ground falls as a result of their gear pulling. There is adequate protection on this route that can be utilized, but may not be as straightforward as one may think. Doubling up on gear at the first roof is a common practice as is placing gear above the roof, coming back down for a rest before attempting the crux moves.
