| This was my second outdoor climbing trip ever. One week after toproping outdoors. Squishy took Amber and I up it. It was a little spooky and we were a little shaky but still easy and fun. Went back in October and lead it (date shown). Lead it again in spring with a party of 4. That was interesting. | |

| squishy | free solo Date Climbed: Nov 22, 2008 | |
| I brought some beginners to the knappysack on Saturday and we ended up climbing it twice. After a bottle of red wine I was feeling loose and felt solid and ready to free solo the route, but that meant the beginners would need to lead and follow it. I soloed next to the leader during the 1st pitch to ensure his placements were sound. It was a major rush, I had to scream when I reached the second belay, my breathing and heart rate were under control and my climbing was more precise than ever before. It's a easy climb and I've done it roped about 7 times within the last few months. I figured I would go up there one day by myself to free solo it and this was an unexpected surprise. I felt ready and solid, and climbed with perfection...Maybe I will head up again and do it alone a second time, free soloing is like therapy for me, it forces me to relax and puts everything into a very clear perceptive... | |

| I had lead the 1st pitch of pop bottle in the past but this was my 1st true multi pitch climb. I liked the route, it was very easy climbing. Lot of places to place pro and easy stances, we found a great place for the second belay anchor. Look for a hole in the rock on your right and sling it, I had a good place to stand for a hanging belay.. | |

| First pitch is great for new climbers. Can rap off the tree with a 70m rope. Second pitch is a bit of a challenge as you can't quite make it to the top unless you move the belay or break into two pitches with a crappy intermediate stance. | |

| One of the best routes for someone learning to lead trad. The slope is always significantly less than vertical with awesome gear placements and easy belay areas. | |

| lisae | fun! | |
| I've climbed this route several times, to practice setting gear. The last time, we got it started snowing so we backed off. | |
