Description Suggest change

Somewhere there is a fine line between scrambling up a dirty gully and technical rock climbing. This route blurs that line.

Free scramble/walk up into the belly of this wide fissure. At its end do some actual climbing/chimneying although you wont have placed any gear yet. After surmounting that challenge there are some bushes slung with tat that you can clip a quickdraw to. A bit more actual climbing up and right (with ledge fall potential) leads to a small sling tree with a ring. I bet you are glad you climbed this aren't you? 

This experience as well falls somewhere between a bomb and mega classic. To each their own.
