[Hide Comment] Really fun warmup for the area. We did it in two pitches but doing it in one would have been more fun. Use long slings for rope drag.

Rappel down to a different set of anchors to the right of P2 anchors. Going to P2 anchors will be a little hard d/t angle of climb Apr 23, 2012

[Hide Comment] Just did the first pitch on this climb and consider it one of the top 5 5.10a routes in the Gorge. The awkward start rewards the climber with stellar steep climbing once the face is gained. Classic! Nov 9, 2019
