Comments: I found for short people such as myself (5'4"), getting a high right heal instead of going for a left made this problem SO much easier. 30+ tries with the left - no go. 2 tries for the send with the right and it felt like V7

Comments: I too thought the route was a bit difficult for the grade but still VERY fun. I messed up on the finish and instead ran it out to connect it with "The Locker" finish. Adds some length to the climb, minimal rope drag, and you get bolts to TR from.

Comments: Fantastic Route! Great moves to the top, and the slabby stuff at the end makes you think a little bit but much easier than some of the other routes with similar ratings. If you have the time (and who doesn't), belay the second from the top; the view and atmosphere are worth it.

Comments: Great climb, protects well. If you feel the need to sew it up however, make sure you bring plenty of long runners or you will be in pain towards the top.

Comments: I found the crux very doable but a little reachy for persons at the extreme height of 5'4" or below. My beta: find some good "nothings" for your feet, trust them and go. Some fun, somewhat powerful moves on this route.

Comments: I'm 5'4" or so and just got back on the route today. Though I didn't redpoint it, the moves seemed easier than before, and not quite so "reachy". Thought I'd post this in case any other shorties out there were getting nervous!
