Just awesome! This route has been on my ticklist since i started climbing. As an old friend soloed it years before i started climbing and my sister showed me the video from down on the road. Would take some huge nuts to solo this thing! (Especially with all the wetness up there from the last couple days rain)

This was possibly my most memorable climb to date. There were three distinct points of wicked exposure that absolutely made my day but would be much less exciting with a rope. Cheers Paul! |

Yep, this was the perect way to finish up ourfirst PP trip. Followed Matt up this and it was the standout pitch of the day (relative to its grade, although i think its a sandbag).
Great climbing up a really nice face, in great position. Couple of finger locks, handjams, laybacks and some funky pockets to finish. The cool change had arrived and the wind almost pushed me onto the ledge at the top
