Great route and really fun. A good prerequisite for the beenestalker- not quite as hard, in my opinion, and with good gear the whole way.

Wes took the longest lead fall I've ever seen, on this route! Scared the hell outta me!

a great stemming route, less intimidating when you're on it then how looks from the ground. A must do!

Make the transition from vertical to horizontal, then it's 40 feet of atmosphere underneath you. Beyond awesome.

good stuff, really fun, just a smidge up from cruising lane or headstone surfer, but short with really good stemming rests

The giant block that can be seen at the base of the tight hands crack in Ray's photo is extremely loose. Tread lightly..
