Description Suggest change

Thin crimps on bullet hard rock, with powerful moves between them. The crux is at around fifteen feet with hard underlings.

This was first freed on top-rope by Bob Horan (later Lynn Hill climbed it, and the legend went for years that she got the FA). I tried to lead it in '06, but the gear is terrible, every fall is a ground fall, and it just didn't make much sense.

In a show of great lateral thinking, Chris Hirsch bouldered this line over a snowdrift in around 06/07 or so. Smart! Most people will probably TR it, and for the quality of the climbing, that makes a lot of sense, but boulder ascents over snow are proud.

Protection Suggest change

For TR, you just need some cord and carabiners. For trad, you'll want micro-nuts, a blue alien, and a willingness to break an ankle. For boulder, make sure there is a big pile of snow, and maybe 4-5 pads.
