25 foot crack seam on the north side of the Borg is "The Borg Crack. The East-facing face was done by Armin at 5.11 and the arete was also toproped by him at 5.12. The climbs are at the paved pullout 0.6 miles west of the Beige Siphon Tube in the Narrows.
Anyone climbed this other than me? I'm curious about how I rated it.

5.11 seems like an accurate rating for the route. The crux about 3/4 of the way up seemed about 5.11 c/d though, it is tough, especially if you are shorter. This is a fun route, watch out for plants with thorns getting up to the anchors for a top rope set though. Take a sling with you too, I think there is still an old one up there, I wouldn't trust it to hold a thing though.
Thanks for taking the time to rate the route! Someone had previously rated this 5.9.....I'm not a great climber, but when I first did this I was in great shape and had to work it like a boulder problem. I thought it hard 5.11, too, but since it was at the top of my climbing grade I was hesitant. Glad you found it enjoyable.
