Did this much underrated climb years ago, found the knobs on the second pitch to be much harder than .9. Then set up a TR on the first run out pitch a couple of times the last couple of years. We tried to do the second pitch a couple of years ago on a cold fall day and backed off the knobs. Is there a "trick" to the knobs? And how old is that bolt?- I think it must be the original. Thanks J

i did this climb 2 years ago. i was climbing strong at the time, but i don't remember anything that felt harder than 5.9. the bolt at the knobs just above the first belay is way old, but it is at your waist when you are moving thru the said knobs.
these kind of routes really depend on where you're at head-wise. to someone that is well-thunk the route feels reasonable. this was my experience on this climb.
ive been absent on other climbs that kicked me silly. i waited for fear-no-evil until i was sure-fire.
