Have to agree with many of the comments regarding the second pitch. if you're a newbie trad climber just getting to know corner/crack work, you're gonna get spanked. still, it protects well and you gotta learn sometime. might as well be there!

Re: Skywalker, 5p, 5.8

Did the new Skywalker rout last week and loved it. I am a newbie to climbing out doors and this route was loads of fun. Cant wait to see how crazy of a crag this area might become as it has amazing potential.
