this is a fun addition to the echo slab climbs, in a few seasons this will be the most popular moderate in the echo cove. from the anchors you can top-rope pinky lee another excellent climb.

I've led this thing a few times and agree that it is worth doing.

A well-protected and fun addition to the area which, no doubt, will see lots of traffic as word of it's existence spreads. One star out of five.

I thought the route was fun and allowed an easy rap down from several routes. However, is this route that much different in difficulty than WAC and One Shoe? If they are 5.8 shouldn't this route be perhaps 5.8- for consistency (perhaps the five bolts reduced the difficulty level)?

those other routes in my opinion are really about 5.6 not 5.8 as they are claimed.

I've climbed this route three times, and have led it twice. the most recent was on November 18th. It was hot and greasy. I believe under those conditions the route is 5.7+
