I've always thought that was Widowmaker??

Agreed. I know this one as Widow-maker too. I also think it's worth three stars although it's a little hard for the grade.

Based on comments left by some folks who appear to be locals, have changed the name of this route from Leave it to Beaver, which was the name given to it by Alan Bressler in 1976, to Widowmaker. Have also given it another star, for the same reason. It's been some years since I've climbed this route :-)
