Comments: I'd concur with monomaniac's assessment: being 6'1", the route felt 13a to me, with the hardest move being the deadpoint near the top off the sloping cube (meaning: I don't agree with the photo caption above labeled "The Crux"; for me, both the roof pull low and the cube move high were much harder).

Comments: hey jared, curious as to why you would make the accusations you made inre drewsky's onsight of rude boys?
seems a rather rude accusation to levy against someone you don't know, yes?
sure, it's only climbing, but i'd suggest reflecting upon your actions a wee bit before committing them to the public airwaves, for two reasons:
1. it could hurt the person you levy accusations against;
2. it could make you look rather foolish, for levying false accusations.
in the future, consider you... more >>

Comments: i think this line was originally climbed with maybe just one bolt.
it climbs much better as a trad line, and really should be free of all bolts.

Comments: can be climbed fairly comfortably with gear (if a 25 foot 5.9'ish runout above the crux to the anchors seems comfortable).
awesome route.

Comments: start with Gerbil Killer and make it a little harder.
start with Bust a Move and make it a little easier.
Traverse in after the crux of Whore of Babylon and make it harder yet.
Sure, why not?

Comments: I climbed this thing back in 01' or '02, early spring. The thing was completely overgrown with moss, and I gardened a very strategic path through the greenery.
Someone later denuded the entire thing alas, ridding the route of its original garden stroll aura.
I assumed it had been done back in yesteryear, but after talking to locals with a rather keen knowledge of historic local events, came to the conclusion it had probably not been done (that, and the fact it had no traces of chalk anywhere,... more >>

Comments: FA who knows? Did this early spring of I think '02. Friend said it was FA, but who really knows. Thought it to be fairly solid V8, certainly not 10. On the thought that it was FA at the time, called it Trigger Point. Fun climb regardless!
