RE: CR

Didn't send, but only really gave it a half-assed effort. One or two move route of quality in a nice location; the approach is a joke. If you're super strong and crank on face holds you might not even have to get too physical in the roof, if you're not you can easily pull through that section with one #4 and one #5 Camalot (long sling plus draw and slide above you)) and still do a classic 18 with a few neat moves. My gear got in the way of my feet such that I didn't have room to get my knees in. Dealt with the offensive bits of dead tree, some loose rock in it's roots, and brushed the headwall crack. We're hoping to encourage traffic. Approach pitch was judged to be only 18 (but three star), not 22, by both myself and my second, Sir Gledhill (whom I passed on the highway an hour ago casually walking away from his totaled car waving and smiling, "I'm OK"). Largely distracted by other project that was then still a construction zone but is now ready to go...
