Description This route was super-chossy at the bottom. Cres pounded off a couple of hundred pounds of crap and I did some reinforcing, and now it's a lot of fun. Still gravelly, but getting better.
Bolts are close together so you don't pay too high a price if something breaks while clipping.
Nice air for such a short route.
Location The right-most route in the cave.

| The bottom is pretty chossy, but once you get onto the main face, the climbing is excellent. Very fun route! |

| The upper moves are indeed awesome on this climb. To say the bottom is chossy is a bit of an understatement - it's like climbing on a pile of barely consolidated gravel. Overall though it's a fun climb that is certainly worth doing. |

| You're right Eric... but man you shoulda seen it before Cres removed about 300 lbs of really scary stuff.
When I first looked at it I thought "no way" -- and you know that I LIKE choss. Then EFR said "if you don't bolt it, I will", so I reconsidered. |

| Hah Hah. You know us conceited Canadians just like to complain about the choss down here, because all we have in Canada is bullet hard granite. Fun line, it certainly improved my graveling, errrr, groveling skills. |

| The bottom of this route seems to have cleaned up a good bit. I enjoyed it. Calling it anywhere in the 12 range is a S T R E T C H for Mt. Lemmon. |

| Perhaps the rating is temperature/humidity dependent. I did it on a hot, humid day and it seemed pretty hard. With the route cleaned up and dry air...... |
