By Kevin McLaughlin From: Colorado Springs Apr 30, 2008 This route is one of the very best at the Ridge. Steep and clean- technically engaging and continuous - this one is as good as they come .
By C Tirrell From: Fort Collins, Co Jun 10, 2009 rating: 5.12- Excellent technical movement on incredible rock. Superb! The mantel at the roof before the headwall is a tad easier for shorter folks.
