Climbed this route a few weeks ago. Great fun. Did the original first pitch as there was a group seriously flailing on Reppy's crack. That original pitch is definitely not a given at 5.8 and requires some serious laybacking. Especially as the climb was still a little wet when we did it. Next time I will get there earlier in order to do Reppy's as it looks absolutely stellar.

rope drag and food poisoning
Climbed MG in a party of 3 on one of the best Sundays of the summer. The first four pitches went smoothly, but then things started going downhill. Had some issues with rope management, as well as a minor case of indigestion from the morning's deli sandwiches. I also nearly took a lead fall on the 2nd roof (the one on pitch 7), got freaked out and hung on gear for a bit before gathering the cojones to pull the move. All in all a tiring day, but great fun nonetheless.

Led all PitchesFlashed all 9 pitches. It was very fun! Almost slipped on Reppy's coming out of the divet, but after that, all went smoothly!

many timesDon't know when I get tired of this route. A slabby spot on pitch 6 and the 2nd roof still seem hard.
