| As with many obscure Kodas routes, this needs cleaning. The lower half feels pretty contrived, clinging to a slab just above a much easier and uglier chimney/gully, but the upper headwall achieves good position. |

| I concur with the above comment. Dirty, and the bottom is sort of silly, climbing next to a gully. Also, though the above headwall is fun, there's an unpleasantly hollow large flake at the beginning. |

| I thought this route was pretty fun. There's a cool step-across about halfway up and then a crimpy headwall finish with a good position. |
