Comments: Gear can be a bit trick for the beginning leader. But the easy stances make ample opportunity to fiddle around and get the pro set right! Great climb to learn how to slot pro in behind features.

Comments: Definitely .10a. Great moves up smooth rock!. This is no harder than heart and sole, just a little less edging and more smearing. Probably why it was harder in Sept!

Comments: I would say the "runout" at the top is ~80' of no harder than 5.5 slab climbing. Well worth the excitement!

Comments: Great in the afternoon sun. This is a great route to lead, as it looks harder than it really is. Nut placements are solid, as are thin cams up high. Walk off to climber's right gets you down... Then go do Aigulle de Joshua Tree!

Comments: I'm on the short side of 5'8" and I need to make the crux rock over step up BEFORE clipping the bolt. Not bad...just heady.

Comments: I think the last bolt (way off to the left) is off route. Perhaps it's not even supposed to be on at all, but skipping it makes the finish the way J tree should be... runout. Mmmmmmm...
