Description 

#3 in the beta picture, this route is an easy aid if you can not lead it. You should be solid on 5.10 lead before you attempt this on lead, some of the placements are tricky.


Protection 

Small Cams and Stoppers. t/r anchors are very hard to reach, plan on setting an anchor and having somebody lower you to them.

I have done this route once or twice, the lower section is a blast with great pro and fun fingerlocks with good edges for feet. There is good gear under the overhang but only marginal gear above, I just put a good cam in, extended it and pulled the roof which is slightly akward. I wasn't sure if this was 5.9 or 10 c. It would be cool if it was 10 c but it would be the only 5.10 trad route I have ever done. Also you can get a red lowe sliding nut just above the lip of the roof, but it's kinda blind and wierd, a friend of mine took a fall on one and it held. I think there might be a nut placment above too or another small cam, but it seems the energy is better spent topping it out.

Did this for the first time last night. Nice climbing, that protects well with small cams, and a few stoppers. Plug an Alien below the roof and run to the top from there. A rating of 10c might be a bit inflated, but somewhere in the 5.10 range for sure.

I would agree that this is 5.10, but I think a low letter rating. This was a really fun climb with ring lock, finger stacking and lots of small edges, even a Gaston or two.

I think that Deviant in Eldo is harder then this one, at least more sustained and pumpy. I flashed this clean but had to rest on gear on Deviant. I think 9 is a good bet if it's a 10. It's a 1 move wonder IMO.

A Wonderful little route, would prob. be old-school 5.9+ at Eldo, pulling the roof actually isn't that bad, you can fire in a bomber Blue TCU or equivalent for some piece of mind right above the roof, and its just a big pull on jugs. Fun, thin moves below this as well with a few decent fingerlocks in the thin crack. The rock here in excellent, not to mention 5 minutes from my house! :)
