[Hide Comment] There is a pin in the horizontal crack part way up and I know this is described in the protection description but I have seen countless people miss the pin and start freaking out because it is "run out"... Jan 4, 2009

[Hide Comment] Everything about this climb is better than neighboring climb "Rose Garden". Slightly harder but moves are much better. Mar 20, 2012

[Hide Comment] Iwas there when either you or Bob saw the pin and thought it was to rusted to use and climbed it complaining that it was run out Nov 13, 2013

[Hide Comment] Maybe not for the budding 5.7 leader. The lower bolts are pretty spaced, I think it wouldn't be too tough to hit the blocks down and right from the route if you came off the first half of the climb, particularly near the second and third bolts. Oct 11, 2020
