Expanding Horizons

I just climbed Expanding Horizons for the first time and found the climb a bit less intimidating than the grade.  There are positive hooks through the first section which can be easily protected with a purple C3 and LA before moving through the bulging rock scar.  Once positioned over the bulge, clipping the long runner on the first bolt is easy.  The crux comes after the first bolt and is strenuous hooking on good holds until pulling over the next bulge and the last bolt.  Once established on easier ground i did find the gear a little spread out, finding a number 2 stopper just before getting to the ice.  Once you move left and get the ice, it is easy grade 3 to the top.  Be aware of some loose rock above the last bolt.  Overall I found this route enjoyable and not as hard as the book's rating.  Maybe M7 WI3.  A good substitute for the humgry Come and Get It crowd.
