On my way up I got to one section that was so exposed I backed off and had to calm myself down. I had to step out on a ledge the size of my foot with over 500ft of air under me. The actual climbing there IMO was class 3 but I was hugging the rock. I wasn't looking forward to the downclimb but found a slab right next to the scary part that was a piece of cake. If you stay on route you can keep it to class 3 and the exposure really isn't too bad if you stay on route.

16 years of lost chancesNever got there. Mike Hill used to rate that non-technical route as class 4. Was that purely because of exposure?

Re: very helpfulGlad I could help. I liked this route because this looks like a very technical peak but very doable without rope.
