Sport route with supplemented trad gear if needed.
We used 2 friends, Size 1 and 0.5 C4 Camelots to reduce runout on two pitches.
First pitch was mostly class 4 and we free-soloed up to the first set of belay bolts.

Climbing the Hand in the Superstitions, AZ - Feb 4, 2012
My friend Ace and I set out on a Saturday to tackle the 3-pitch gem of the Superstitions known as the Hand or Praying Hands. Although it consists of relatively simple moves the whole way, the exposure seen from both sides of this arête is overwhelming at times. Rope management is a plus on this narrow pinnacle with zero real estate. It's definitely an exciting climb from start to finish.
