| This route requires considerable core tension and seems a bit "stouter" for its grade than other problems a number grade harder in the GJ area.For example, I flashed Surgical Precision V7, and Mono Pocket Rocket V5 at Unaweep Canyon, a week prior. |

| This feature offers a good, non-contrived problem if climbed from starting holds to the the crack, then to the sidepull out right (which is the coolest hold on the whole mountain), then fire up to a pocket before topping. |
