Description This quality route is almost all on good gray varnish. Interesting moves past thin cracks lead to a ledgy area 1/2 way up. More interesting and steeper moves up thin cracks in a flared slot lead top a ledge just below the top. Either continue up a funky thin crack (5.8/9), the chimney just right (5.9) or walk off left.
Protection Standard rack to 2".
The ledge 1/2 way up.

| A pretty fun route with interesting moves on solid rails and flakes. Pretty mellow for 5.8, I would say not harder than 5.7 at most.There is a bolted anchor on top. |

| Fun climbing with some interesting moves on mostly good rock, but the creaky jugs down low require some care. |

| Fun climbing and a great route for a leader at that level. 5.7 gym climbing that's protectable the whole way if you need it. |

| I had the chance to second this route. I think this was a darn impressive lead. IMO, I think a 5.7 gym climber might be in over their head on this one. This was a good route, not a top 60 as shared by a certain guidebook. The bummer for me was the rap station... I felt it to be awkward (although given they are so rare in Josh, I'll take it). A Metolius PAS wasn't the best with the anchor, would suggest a cordalette instead. Overall, a good one. |

| Excellent route, great warmup for the 5.10s next to it. Lots of foot holds that are not obvious at first but once discovered they make it very easy and a solid lead. |

| Not a move over 5.7 on this, but my partner would say not a move over 5.6. The start is steep with tricky pro, but there are great hands and feet. A fun route, but nothing to write home about. |
