| Short! Too short!! Could it be shorter??? But a little bit fun noe the less. |

| This climb is short but fun. I've had a good time hopping on it unroped, with just a boulder pad or two at the base for protection. You clear the crux by the time you're ten feet up, and then you can jump off. No way this deserves zero stars. |

| Give it a million stars if you like!!! Whatever the case, climb it or not, like it or not, do as you damned well please! We had fun on it and thought it to be worthwhile, but too short. Call God and see if he/she can make it longer. Then I will add a few stars from heaven. |

| Well, Locker, I guess we disagree. It's not personal. I swear. |

| Stupid little route... |

| Hey, like I said, a bit of fun and worth the shot. Certainly not a TOTAL BOMB as suggested by CM. I give it no stars and will never do it again though. All just opinions of course. None more important than the other. All in fun. I take nothing personal on this or any other site Brian. Thanks however and climb on! |

| I really like this quick route! Someone gave me a tip to get my feet up on the first diagonal horizontal however I could and the rest would be cake and it was. Fun |

| It wouldn't take an act of god to make this route longer. A bolt or two more continuing straight up the face would do the trick. I set up a TR so I could continue straight up for an equal length of additional and equally challenging face climbing. Maybe I am a wus, but the bolt on this climb seems a little high to me. If uncomfortable about hurting your feet, bring a crash pad or stick clip. I was lucky to rap from somebody's rope above but you can walk off right. A bit tricky so look at it before you head up. |

| Maybe not a bomb, but certainly no more than one star and barely worth doing. |

| I think it's fun as a V-1 boulder problem that has a flat landing and tops out to an easy walk off. That bolt is pretty haggard anyway! I do think an extension (sorry, I meant linkup:) up the second face could be fun though. |

| Did this route as a farewell climb after a week in the then-Monument. With sore fingertips, it seemed a bit harder then than 10a, but that was just sore tips talking. Not a bomb, but close...barely one star. With a bouldering pad would make a decent highball problem. |

| The bolt is almost falling out. Definately an intriging route, albeit short. |
