| IMHO there's no way this route is harder than 5.8 or HVS 4C, but it's been a looooong time since I've climbed it. |

| Technically 5.8/9 but really cool situation, especially if the Horses are in. F/A Ed Drummond. |

| Before doing the route I thought it was getting more credit than it deserved. After doing it I think it cant get enough. The climbing isnt spectacular, but is interesting enough. You do this route for the atmosphere! Also, I would say this route isnt much harder than 5.7, but the positions are intimidating and incredable |

| The usual warning is to carry prussik loops in case of a fall on the last pitch, as the rock below is undercut and the rock above overhanging. |
