    Super chill outing. Nice bolt-protected start and a pleasant ramble up a really bomber crack.

    One of the better trad routes at Mac and deserves more attention. The start is unique and the crack above takes gear well. Crux is the start, and maybe a balancy move two thirds of the way up.

    Great climb. Crux is the reachy start on 2 bolts. After that you're into a bomber crack that eats up gear. Climbed it one season and it was nice and clean. The next season it was looking a bit dirty and neglected. Took some gardening to get gear in. Surprised it doesn't get climbed more. It's one of the only trad climbs I've done on mac that has no runouts and solid rock all the way up.

    Can't remember when, but I know I loved it. Some of the easiest gear placements around! Fun bolted crux near the ground.
