Four climbs in four nights in the Winds with Steph Abegg, nice trip. This route does not rate much in comparison to Black Elk or the Pingora classic. Just not many memorable pitches outside of pitch 6. Beckey climbed this route before I was born though....it had to be a grand adventure at that time no doubt and thus lands in his top 100...would not make mine though. You can rap with a 70m no worries, just take some extra tat to leave behind and/or replace worn out same.
