Description Rated as a 5.6, but I don't think a 5.6 leader would be happy on the crux lower portion. The area around the first and second bolts will be exciting if you think you're on a 5.6. Considerably harder than Progressive Slot (5.6) down the wall.
Location In the corner to the right of a big alcove. A small, adorable, backpack-eating mouse lives in a notch at the bottom of the climb. Hide your Clif Bars.

| IMHO I would agree that although not tough by no means, 5.6 (guidebook) especially at the beginning might be a tad bit sandbag. Expect a 5.7 and you'll probably be ready, have fun!! |

| Yeah... I'd say it definitely ranks closer to a 5.7 |

| An awkward 5.7 at best. I agree that a 5.6 leader would most likely end up bailing on this thing. And beyond that, I didn't think it was a very fun climb at all, so why bother. I used the adjacent face to the left a lot. Is that off route? |

| the first two bolts were definitely not a 5.6
beyond that it's an ok climb if you can clear your head |

| I agree with other posts, beginning is not 5.6 at all...I would say more like 5.8/5.9. Because I couldn't reach the second bolt for this climb, I used the one directly above the first bolt for Circus Circus. Technically it's part of another route I think, but it was much safer to use. After you get past that it's smooth sailing and definitely matches the rating. |
