[Hide Comment] I preferred the right crack to the one on the left. Generally cleaner, lovely traverse. You could just climb up to the arrete & traverse with it I suppose, but I think the more fun line is to traverse lower at an horizontal. Sep 22, 2019

[Hide Comment] As 5.7 trad climbs go, this is up there with some (more crowded) routes of Echo Crag fame. Moderate climbing, plenty of length, bountiful gear, and good stances. Oct 7, 2019
