Opis:
Even though neither of us had previously sent a 5.12 route of any length on gear, Adam and I decided to attempt Thin Red Line during a 3 day stint up at Washington Pass in the North Cascades. I managed to onsight the entire thing except for one move on the second 5.12 pitch (which I reclimbed on lead and sent). Adam fell a few times but managed to get every move on the route clean except for the move I fell on. We were psyched! Sometimes it's worth pushing the grade a bit. We climbed this thing on 6/30/20. Thanks to the FAs and FFA for putting up this rad route!
