First ascent. Pre-placed gear.

A controversial ascent at the time as Skinner abseiled the route to pre-place pins for protection then practiced the moves by dogging up the route, a practice which was frowned upon by the Yosemite crowd of the time.

First ascent.

Kim abbed the line to place a peg and then did it first go. [1]
