Comments: easier than witch hunt in my opinion. far right pocket for your hand at the chains makes it easy to clip. Cleaning the route is what sucks. as you dangle there its hard not to spin in circles if your a short guy like me.

Comments: easy solid climb for new leaders. The roof is a head game. Feet and hands are there.

Comments: fun climb! short. All i did was put a #2 metolious master cam in a few feet above the bolt than walked it to the chains. feels more like a boulder problem.

Comments: For a steady 5.10 climber this climb will seem pretty easy.

Comments: great climb. Easy first pitch. Bolts will set up your belay before the offwidth. A number seven metolious at the top od the offwidth will keep ya plenty safe. Dont let the usual talk of a hard to protect offwidth keep ya off the route get up there and try it!
