Led the 1st and 3rd pitches (we did it in 3). Very good route, the easiest route I have climbed on these two facing walls to date. A great finish to a 3 day Needles trip. The 3rd pitch is the best in terms of aesthetic climbing. Some folks report issues regarding the shallow aspect of the crack on the first pitch, but it was fairly straight forward jamming. One balanced reach jam as I recall that was a fun move. With Ted from the west coast.

great routeGreat route - all pitches are memorable, and fun. A really great moderate. We basically did it in 2 pitches, and had a blast with both.

WOW!The second pitch was mine and boy was it a pumpfest! Loved the rock but could do without the wind. Awesome place.
