With a TR, a couple of rests, and stepping on gear, this was no more more than 5.10+... Awesome route. M…

The question is, where should it go? I busted some wild moves out around the arete on TR to gain the offwid…

The first pitch is like climbing on a slab covered in eggshells. At the crux I broke what seemed to be a ke…

I top-roped the link-up from the top of the second pitch to the top of the pillar. There is an odd stray bo…

Also worth noting that this feels hard for the grade, in addition to having to bust 5.10+ moves above the h…

The "extra" bolt is definitely not on the route, and clipping it would give you a lot of drag unless you pu…

Felt hard for the grade, and would probably feel less scary if it got more traffic. Long runouts above blac…
