Hopefully we'll get some anchors on this climb. Right now it's kinda hard to protect crack, to wide chimney and belay off trees. Sep 22, 2017

Fun climb. I didn't think it was to hard to protect. Wide gear for the start BD 5 or 6 and hand/fist (1-3) for the top. Anchors would be a great addition Dec 1, 2017
