Definitely worthwhile. Variation to the final pitch is also pretty sweet. I wouldn’t call p3 a crack, but I… View Comment

Pitch 1 is pure joy. View Comment

Excessively bolted, over-graded choss. One star for the view. View Comment

Like Chouinards, please avoid rappelling the route and walk-off instead. View Comment

Kinda painful and dirty, but worth it. Leader should bring a nut tool to clean out the pine needle duff. View Comment

Piton at the end of the P2 traverse is loose. Didn’t have anything to knock it back in with. Plenty of gear… View Comment
