[Hide Comment] Pretty darn good 5.9 pitch. The only pitch better at the straight 5.9 grade at Donner I can think of is the second pitch of One Hand Clapping. Plus, the hang up at this nook is superb. Four quality climbs all off this one ledge.... Dec 2, 2012

[Hide Comment] The fun part of this route to me is varied climbing requiring (I found) thoughtful moves. Sep 11, 2020
