Cloak and Dagger
With Pat from Boulder. Just over 5 hrs for us, from camp to camp, not a grade III in my opinion. By Black Canyon standards, not a 5.10+ either. There is nothing remotely as challenging as the cruxes on Scenic Cruise. But the 3rd pitch hidden dihedral is one of the best 5.10 pure trad pitches in the Black. Sustained 5.10- and really fun climbing whether stemming or finger jamming. The roof on pitch four offered a cool 5.10 move to overcome. The rest of the route goes quite fast.
