Comments: I think this route deserves a PG13 designator. It would be possible to deck when going up to the last jug.

Comments: Thanks guys.
Kayte - Appendix B has been created (which reminds me that I need to e-mail you Appendix A one of these days), the bottom is a bit spicy, but the crux is well protected. I started just to the left of the chunky wide crack, and used only the smaller diagnol crack systems on the face, it all felt pretty solid.

Comments: Dmitriy-
Any chance you used the solution pockets on the right that are a part of Mouse Tracks, and not "on" for Mouse's Misery?

Comments: I have not heard of any new closures, and as such I would assume it continues to remain open.

Comments: The older I get, and the more routes I see the more I love this route. I'd give it 100 stars if I could - if you only have time for one route at Devil's Lake this should be it.

Comments: I think I remember this discussion from a few years ago -- seems like 2003 to me. I remember something about a girl, and "The Granite State" - Something about not becoming a sport-climber, and a further "James - it's called The Granite State."

Comments: Yeah those two bomber pieces within 4 feet definitely make it "R" rated - seems to me it's the start that is poorly protected.

Comments: Dave-
As I've said before - this is not 5.10, it is F10, and there is a world of difference. As for it being 5.12 I think Jay's point is that typically Devils Lake routes are graded not by their hardest move (which in this case is almost certainly harder than 5.11a for anyone under 6 foot), but by the rough average of the difficulty of the climbing.
I'm also curious to know what you would rate Thouroughfare and ABM?
