Comments: Since the majority of comments on this route are about the grade, I'll chime a little more.
I noticed in the new guidebook that Reefer is an 11b and this is only supposed to be an 11b/c. These are at least 2 letter grades apart in difficulty in my opinion.
Great route! and great move on that weird bolt.

Comments: I don't know Andrew. I always wanted the bolt to be within reach before making the awkward mantle. It always seemed like I was making the hardest move 15 ft above my last bolt, then making the clip.
Fun but scary route.

Comments: This route is pretty good. Take gear. Crux is low and kinda one move.
Definitely not a bomb.

Comments: The first time I tried Tagger the roof was pouring water. I did this to escape. It's an OK escape, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Comments: I agree with Ivan.
"As for the gear between bolts 3 and 4, it is indeed at your feet. I used a #00 Metolius."
I used a blue Alien.
I also found this and Ichiban Arete about as difficult as Deviant. For the record I think Deviant is 10a easy.

Comments: I thought that this was the worst "good" route I've climbed in Eldo.

Comments: I really liked this route. I climbed it clean just after doing another 11b, so it's probably more like 11a.
I escaped left and had a hard time cleaning the route. I couldn't tell if the route was supposed to continue through the lichen or stop at the 2 bolts that were 4 feet apart.

Comments: I agree that this is a good tower, but better than anything at SF? No way! It's a worthy stop, but Sherwood KILLS this place.

Comments: The creepy and loose sounding rock on the middle of this route really took a lot away from this route. I'm sure it much more solid than it seemed, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was going to pull a HUGE piece of rock off every other move.
I think it would be a really good route if you weren't a wuss like me and just cranked on everything.

Comments: Really good route. I thought the crux was right off the ground. The extension portion really has a lot of lichen still.

Comments: Isn't grading more of a general guideline? I can usually onsight 11c, especially in CCC. However, this route beat me down. Maybe it's the length, or the overganging nature, or the pump I had. I did another 11c at the same crag right before and this felt harder.

Comments: I agree with the comment about the Xs. They sounded solid and felt so. The route was clean and solid. The crux felt low 11 to me. I followed the line of bolts up to the left and then crossed to the right. It kinda looked like a crux hold is gone now. The people that followed after me felt it was 10c, but they both hung at the crux and got back on to the right.

Comments: I think this route is almost as good as Reefer Madness. I had my belayer anchor to the steel "ring" until I got to the first bolt.

Comments: Maybe I'm just weak these days, but this felt pretty solid 11c to me. No loose rock that I found that I needed.

Comments: This is a pretty good spot for a few after work short solos or highball bouldering routes. It's also a good place to bring new leaders for some mock leading.

Comments: This route felt slightly harder than grand jam. OK route.
