| One of the few routes that I have climbed in the Alabama Hills that felt stiff for the grade. |

| Except for a few moves near the top, this route is pretty soft for 5.9. Great route however. |

| 2 stars for the nice challenging moves at the top and some interesting climbing at the bottom. |

| Did not find this route feeling stiff as MF mentioned, on the contrary it felt very similar to it's neighbors on Hoodgie Wall; 5.8 at best. Whatever the grade, it's nice climbing, well protected and definitely worth doing. |

| While doing the moves up near the top, I thought it was 50/50 that I might pitch off this thing. Seemed pretty hard to me. |

| Extremely well protected - even for a sport route. But good sequential moves towards the top which are more technical than the routes on Hoogie - actually had to stop and think. |

| 5.6 all the way to the top. one 5.9 move up there. Great rock, not much fun if you are looking for a 9! |
