With Casey. Really fun, mostly just a long single pitch route. The first pitch is inconsequential. The excellent off width 2nd pitch can be combined with the shorter 3rd chimney pitch above for one fun and wide lead. This is a good route to combine with Twix, Cradle and Stone for a full day of fun and quite in Black Velvet. The climbing on these two routes is far better than many of the more popular routes you passed on the way to the access 5.7 pitch to reach this level in the canyon. Both are relatively new routes on stellar black varnish.
