Finishing up the cruxy start of Drive By Shooting. The climbing stays pumpy & thought-provoking to the last inch.

This is a great route and would get 4 stars if not for the serious, 10+ ledge out finish. Don't blow the top.

This is really a great route. I don't see the comparison to the Project Wall, but whatev. The bolting is a little poor, and I agree that the finish detracts a bit, but this is a long continuous line that is well worth doing. The rock is mostly excellent, and the movement is great. There are many great rests, but you never seem to quite get it all back.

As for the grade, this is at least a letter grade easier than Turds.

You'll be missing some dental work if you biff the mantle at the top for sure. Great climb, really sustained, only a few good rests.
