Really enjoyable. The crux was a little exciting, and the flaring chimney made the the rest of the climb a joy to climb. Moved at a calm pace, spent lots of time looking at the scenery and cleaning the gear.
Highly recommend talking the walk up for it, but don't bother with the chossy top out - just go straight to the rappel rings.

Was a perfect finale for a great trip. From sinking in the first jam, I fell into an incredibly enjoyable flow state. I think it was my first time feeling that on gear.
Thecrag is all about the climbing, but this trip was equally as awesome because of the people. The mountain exudes this magic that both becalms and invigorates those who are drawn to it. What an awesome trip, and amazing people. See you again! |

Great climb that is tough for the grade. Enjoyed it a lot, the jamming is fun, placed a nut at the roof and gunned it. My 9 year old boy struggled with the jamming down low as being little makes the first move quite overhung for him. He bailed on his first attempt and left in tears defeated. We came back two days later and rapped in from the top together on twin ropes so he could get a look at all the moves, placed a few strategical cams to prevent him from swinging out. I got him to climb it in sections so I could follow closely behind and coach him through the techniques required for each section. He made it by using lots of guts and determination. Highly recommended.
