Description 

This climb was originally rated 5.7. Over the years, more and more holds have broken off near the start, considerably increasing the difficulty. The last time I did it (mid 90s), getting up to the bolt 12 feet off the ground was committing 5.9, and the move by the bolt was 5.10A. Maybe it's harder now. Above the crux move, a long 5.6 chimney takes you to the top. This is not a recommended climb.
