Writer rated route 5.12a but it is listed as a 5.11d in the Williams guide book. At 5.11d I found it tough and defintely not soft. Make sure you use long runners down low or you will pay with rope drag when clipping the up sections.

The best route at the grade in the Gorge. Constant, varied, sustained but with a few good rests. Not 12a, definitely not compared to any 12a on Endless. Throw a shoulder length sling on the bolt after the leftward traverse and the rope will run fairly good, long runners down low would be nice but not necessary.
