I climbed the first pitch only.

This is a really nice line...however the first 8m are difficult to protect properly. The rest has perfect gear. I was very tired when I climbed this but thought it was hard for the grade. I would not suggest this pitch as your first trad lead..

P1 only. #.4 plus large cam to protect start, then the crack will easily eat a single rack #.75-#3 - doubles #.75-#2 wouldn't go astray. Would be an excellent beginner trad lead with very forgiving placements, easy climbing, and many opportunities for jambs.

Superb first pitch. Traversed from the left towards the right using a small cam, then the lovely crack up to the big slot. Then one of the best laybacking trad climbs I've been on. Easy to protect (I used doubles from 0.5 to 1, then singles of some smaller and larger). The second pitch got a bit airy but if you stay just left of the 2 ringbolts, the climb is at the grade - just don't look down.

Climbing that day was a mistake.. attempted my first trad lead while battling a million/km per hr winds, sleet, and below freezing temps. Decided to downclimb after putting in about 3 pieces because I don't think even that could have been considered type 2 fun At least we were with cool people!
