    One of the best short multipitches in town! Lots of steep jamming on a clean wall. Awesome. Stoked to not have whipped on pitch 2 this time!

    fun route with varied climbing. Not sure if pitch in the woods is supposed to be part of this route but I didn't get that pitch and thought it was a total sandbag compared to the rest of the route. The whole route was wet when we climbed it so hard to comment on grades though.
