Norma's Book 

A 5.6 in the old Bingam book and a 5.5 in the new book. Is it getting easier or could it be that he is mistaken. A 5.7+ might be a little high, (not worth disputing) but a 5.5, give me a break.

Okay... how about a happy medium? 5.6 it is then... actually, I don't remember it being that hard, but it was fun. This climb will forever live in my memory, however, as during my lead, making my way up through the wide chimney... stemming and such... a rat stuck its face out and looked me in the eye, I nearly lept off as that was my gut reaction... I am not a fan of rats as it is, but to come face to face during a rock climb, I hope to never have happen again. Okay, 5.6+ if you see the rat!

No way is this route a 5.5! New leaders beware if you have a book that calls it a 5.5. I'd say it's a hard six. There are two fairly steep sections, one near the middle and one at the top. Still, u have a lot of positve holds and plenty of places for pro. A grreat climb if you have lead a couple pitches before.

Gotta agree...no 5.5....but probably an old school 5.6d..haha. I jumped on this years ago, as a new leader, and worked hard. All there though!

I think its rated at most, 5.6. I'd have no issue if the route was rated 5.5, though.

This was my wife's first trad lead. I thought it was an excellent route for the grade (I would definitely call it 5.6) - climbing is varied and maintains your interest.
