TR solo clean! right hand side pull right foot smear, left hand crimp, right hand bump to pocket, left hand out to side pull, right hand bump into finger jam, adjust feet, bump right hand, left hand on sloper, walk feet up, left hand to decent edge.

0.4 X4 to protect first move

Beta: lay back right, smear feet high on left inside of opening. Hand jam high?

Not a great start. Still feeling the effects of the cold I've had all week. Came good later though.

This is a great climb for beginner climbers looking to challenge themselves. It's pretty easy in the beginning, but about half way up you find out why it is called the stretcher. I'm a little over 6 foot and I still couldn't reach the ledge where you had to put your hand. I ended up jumping to reach it, but it took me more than enough tries to finally get it. I would definitely give this climb a 5 out of 5 if you are a beginner climber trying to push your limits.

Small ring locks, stumped again by a Devils Lake low 5.10!

Good holds. Get Long.

such a great route. i wish it could be led but there is absolutely nothing available for protection besides skyhooks and duct tape
