| I added this route as PG-13, not for the protection, but because of a squarish block about the size of a basketball in the overlaps towards the top that's starting to fracture. It may last for years but will eventually come off. ( it's toward the left higher side of the overlap, will try to mark it next time I'm there). Also would give this route 3 stars except for poor rock quality in that area. |

| Christian you bottom feeder. Why not bring up a pry bar the next time you go and pry the block off. Come on man pitch in!! Are we not a community! |

| I think the block has been removed or reinforced, so I removed the safety rating. P.S. Jim, I'm not gonna start hacking at someone's route without a second opinion, so it was just a heads-up. |

| You don't need a second opinion to pry a loose block off. I think the block your talking about is gone now anyway. The top is quite a bit harder now. |

| I said "fractured", not "loose". I was there last week and it seems fine around that area, so I have no idea whether something physically changed or I was overreacting to begin with. It was probably not too long after Kreidel pulled off a huge block (and part of an established hold) when I was belaying him at Milagrosa. It landed a few inches behind my head, but only because I was watching him carefully and had some extra time to step forward. P.S. The top seems like it should be easy but it's tricky as hell, not even close to sending the stupid thing lol |
