Really fun route without much traffic. We started late so we fixed the first 2 pitches the first day and then returned to finish the route. The belay ledges are awesome and the rock is mostly solid. The belay are all bomber but what's between is what makes it interesting.
Started out with 5 members, 2 rapped off at the top of pitch 2 and the 3 of us went on to the top. A really great climb with better views and scenery then most of the cascade's.
First off i'll just say it we didn't make it. We were planning on doing the normal route via aid but only ended up doing the first two pitches. We just need to get faster at aiding. Will be back soon! (once we learn how to pick up our speed.) Route description is great all beta accurate at least the part we did. Lot's of hunter's gun shoots kinda spooked us out.

Good easy aid climb, with awsome ledges and lots of bad bolts. Thanks for the bete rpc! [url=http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/threadz/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/560554/an/0/page/2#560554]Trip Report Here[/url]
