By Bruce Bindner Dec 18, 2008 Compared to the other 5.8 and 5.9 climbs in the Paul's Paradise area, we rated this one 5.9. The first bolt is a bit high, but a hybrid alien can be placed in the lower seam to protect the first moves off the deck. Brutus
By Dave Daly From: Temecula, CA Dec 22, 2008 In agreement with Bruce. This route did touch into 5.9 territory. BTW, a NEW route has been installed just 8 feet to the right of this one. And, no, its not your crack route Bruce (just in case you were wondering).
