Great for learning trad, Did the right hand crack

Did the right hand variant. Very comfortable with 2 or 3 pieces of gear.

The diagonal (R to L) crack. Probably the best of the 3.

Short, so I thinned my rack first. Did both, left first then right. Ended up using only tri-cams on the right one. (Didn't do the diagonal.)

First time beginner lead. Found that lower crack area was wet.

The crack going straight up. Great intro to crack climbing.

Thin smear moves with occasional fingertip features. Would be a tough lead.

Last climb of the day, and I couldn't even pull the moves at the start. After trying several things, I got one move off the ground -- and probably not the right first move. I did figure out the move that David ended up using, but it was too much power for me to execute, and I don't know if I could have done anything past that point anyway.

Stupidly bolted. What is the point of making a stick clip route? Good climbing though.
