Description This is an excellent, thin face climb which climbs the obvious black streak. A few thin moves at 2/3rds height provide the crux.

| This is a great route but it might be slightly sandbagged. |

| A total sandbag IMO.....balancy, sequential crux on tiny feet and direction-dependent hand holds. I could have missed some key beta or just be a wuss, but I'd give 'er a 10d redpoint or 11a onsight. |

| I'd say 10d/11a is a bit much. I was thinking more along the lines of 10c, but grades are so subjective anyway. |

| Clipping the second bolt pretty much sucked. Clipping it from below you'd be in the middle of a crux move with a ledge fall. I was able to clip it leaning off the crack on the right, but even that was a bit dicey. This was a great climb, and a great looking climb, with hard moves sometimes above the bolts but with good rests in between. |

| Prob a bit harder than 10b and with some spacey bolts, but a stellar route. Rare when a granite sport climb reminds me of climbing limestone.... |
