Degree 101-- Corkscrew

This 50' route climbs these corners all the way to the top. The moves are not hard, but there is a lot of exposure, so I, being unroped, descended when I was only about halfway up, seeing that a 50' route with serious risk of a fatal fall just wasn't worth it. This is supposedly a very good route for beginners on a rope, though it seemed too easy to be that interesting on a toprope, which is the way most climbing here is done.
