[Hide Comment] No disrespect to whoever wrote the description, but you're pretty much telling everyone how to climb the route. I would recommend a touch less detail in subsequent descriptions. Oct 10, 2011

[Hide Comment] Bring a set of small nuts and pop one in a little ways after the third bolt. It's easy climbing up there, but you're going for a ride if the pump spits you off near the top. Jan 14, 2012

[Hide Comment] Great thin face climbing with hero holds up high!! Short and powerful! Agree with the idea of bringing some nuts for the upper section, because you really would not want to blow it up there. Jan 13, 2013
