Owen Whaley ticks Resisting Arrest
Can you tell us more about the ascent?
I first tried “Resisting Arrest” last summer when Joe Kinder made the first ascent. It is a very fun route consisting of bouldery sections, separated by mediocre rests. I tried the route intermittently throughout the summer, but the heat and trips away prevented me from sending. In the end I was able to do it on one of my last days before leaving home and heading back to college, which was very rewarding.
