Description 

Although 5.11b/c is the official guidebook rating, the difficulty is highly dependent on the climber's height. I've heard 6-foot-tall climbers call the route 5.9. It all depends on what footholds you have to use to reach the crux crimp: the shorter you are, the worse the footholds (and the better your technique must be).

Location 

This is the route to the immediate right of Mushroom (5.8) (2 routes to the right of "Shroomin'').

Protection 

Bolts.
