| Strong 2 stars. Reminded me of Chihuahua. If the crux is the move around the corner at the start, it's not awkward at all the way I do it...it's nice. |

| Have you guys tried to trundle the block about 20 feet up ? It looks a bit spooky and would be instant death to belayer in the admittedly very unlikely case that it pitched. |

| We banged on it when we drilled the route, seemed pretty solid. But if you can get it to go, trundle away. |

| yeah chihuahua power was exactly what i thought of when i did this climb. |

| I third the chihuahua comment. I was there today and that rock seemed solid. (I was rapping and my partner was at the anchors). Maybe I am just a weakling. |

| Watched a tall guy do the "crux" today. He said it was 5.8 the way he did it. He kept telling me to "just put your foot up on the ledge", Bastard! |

| I'll jump on that Chihuahua Power bandwagon too. Fun crux down low that feels pretty exposed and committing. Very fun route! |

| Very fun. Thought I was going to have major issues if the whole route was like the first committing move, but then things eased up. I like this one! |
