This is one of the best routes I've ever done at this grade. Putting it down as a classic (not mega classic) just because the good parts are so short — the first 10m are pretty average...

You could be a rookie in trad climbing, coming to Point Perp because you know you could level up there while thinking you are in climbing heaven. Then your friend (that you have to assume wants you good) would tell you, "hey, you are jumping on that one next, the cave is awesome!".
Then is when the stress meets your body, you get doubtful and excited at the same time, you go for it (thanks Erica for belaying patiently) and start, you doubt every placement because you are a rookie so you want to make sure everything is done correctly, it takes time, not as much time as watching "The lord of the rings trilogy" but probably you could watch an episode of "Lost" in the same time you need to complete the climb. The cave is indeed awesome, and coming out of it feels like a trad climber is been delivered to the world. Enjoyed it so much! |

Freaking amazing. Out there. Mind bender. Reasonable gear but spaced at times.
[ Managed to lose my favorite #2.5 friend (old, on a green sling). I could have dropped it down the slot at the top or into the veg at the bottom. ] |

Bring a few slings with you because the first half of the placements are very wandery.
