[Hide Comment] Don't overlook this awesome route because of "trad" and "walk off" in the description. It's almost a sports climb in its present state and there's definitely an anchor to lower off from - shared with the 11d route. I only placed 2 solid pieces of gear on it at the end (#1 and #0.75 BD cams) where it splits off from Blaster Pals. However, there's a good bit of jamming on this rig, so definitely tape up.
