This was an excellent climb, which looked a lot harder than it actually was. Unfortunately, it's not very clean, so you have to be careful. Aaron led, and managed to place gear on the tough-looking first section without falling. (The gear potential is excellent; it's being able to place it while leading without getting totally pumped that's tricky. Aaron managed to find excellent rests from which to place gear.) I followed, and also got through the hard part with no trouble. As I said, it's easier than it looks. But in the middle of it, a large chunk of rock nearly broke off when I grabbed it, and just a little higher up, past the crux, I grabbed a chunk that did break off. (Naturally I fell, which sucked, because I was happy that I was going to finish the climb cleanly.) We also saw and/or dislodged many smaller loose flakes on the way up and on the way down. Bottom line: great climb, but tons of loose shit. Be careful.
