The first moves are harder than 5.8 (5.9+) if you are less than 6'.

Yup, the're not that easy even if you are 6'. A stout 5.8!

I agree, I must not have found the 5.8 variation. If you aren't a 5.10 leader, I'd recommend leading Thelma and doing this one on TR first.

This route is a lot of fun. You really don't need to be tall for these first few moves these other people are talking about. I'm 5' 6" and I got the moves just fine. You have to be careful on the first clip ( even though you can get it from the ground) because if the climber is the fall after the clip he is falling to the ground.

I believe that the block with the two bolt anchor on this route is NOT safe and the whole thing may come down some day. Earlier this year there was a big rockfall in the gully to the left of this arete and I have to wonder about the stability of this section of the crag. Be careful!

These climbs should be renamed Dumb and Dummer based on what the anchors were set in. I wonder if the FA party had any understanding of physics at all.

Looked at the anchor block from several angles and while it is apart from the main body of the cliff, it appears to be very solidly sitting atop the tower. I feel like it'll hold all but a complete whipper of a leader fall and not budge at all.

The anchor block may be perched securely, but there is a fracture line in the block itself. It's only a matter of time before it splits in two. This route and its neighbor should be "retired". Till then, avoid these climbs like the plague.

Sh*t. No wonder I couldn't get up this thing! I thought, "How is it that I've onsighted several 5.8s and now I can't climb a 5.7?" I thought Thelma and Louise were both 5.7s. The face was definitely a 5.9 or 5.10. I moved onto the arete on the right.

Goofy and underrated. Harder than I remembered, particularly on lead. I brought my daughter (17) here as a first time out for her in many years, thinking "ah 5.7/5.8 on top rope - no problem" Yikes!
