The starting moves are extremely fun and straightforward; however, the finishing crux sequence is crimpy, hard to read/find, and a bit scary. This route deserve all of its four stars. It seemed a bit closer to a 6 than a 5 to me, possibly PG-13 the fall is big from the top.

What does the really long start low and right go at? It looks really slopey with no feet.

Pad beta is below the lip if you send, 5 feet back in the bushes if you pitch from the lip. PG-13 fall potential for sure, Geoff.

This is not anywhere near V6 or V5 for that matter. While the lip is committing it does not deserve more difficulty points for that. I believe this is a classic example of overgrading a problem because of its height. V3, maybe V4-.

You had a great day when you got on it, I guess.
