"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Stellar RouteSnagged this classic with WML on a fab day out at the leap. Awkward first anchor but great sustained and powerful moves.

My first multi-pitch trad leadsuch a fun route! i ran out of quickdraws, large nuts and almost a full set of Aliens plus #2 and 3 Camalots on the second pitch... and i did the 5.9 variation end on lead which was quite exhilarating and all the more rewarding when i topped out.

Run out the proI took my friend up this climb and led all three pitches. The climbing is really fun and easy so I put pro in about every 20 to 30 feet. This was my second climb at the leap and 4th multi-pitch.

crowded!We had the most painful experience waiting behind slow parties on the route - almost needed headlamps, epic! Wouldn't go there again on a weekend... the 5.9 finish "variation" (one move) added a bit of excitement after all the waiting but wasn't memorable or anything. The big reach was anticlimatic for a 195cm tall dude like me.

Big ReachHave done this climb several times, but this was the latest. Usually do the 5.9 variation at the top. Fun climb.
