| The starting moves are extremely fun and straightforward; however, the finishing crux sequence is crimpy, hard to read/find, and a bit scary. This route deserve all of its four stars. It seemed a bit closer to a 6 than a 5 to me, possibly PG-13 the fall is big from the top.
What does the really long start low and right go at? It looks really slopey with no feet. |

| Pad beta is below the lip if you send, 5 feet back in the bushes if you pitch from the lip. PG-13 fall potential for sure, Geoff. |

| Yes, I'll take credit for this...was friggin' mud-caked when I came across it in 2000 or so. Mike Hickey and I cleaned this and the rest of the boulder, sending Mavericks, 41st Street, etc. Matt Samet got on board and added a bunch later, as did Jade, Mikey Auldrige, and others. |
