Great warm up, but would be even better on a warm day! This rock does get some sun very early in the morning, but it is gone by around 9:00 (at least in March). The route quickly surprises you at the bottom (you may want a stick clip!). It does lighten up a little as you continue, but to have some fun technical moves.
Location
On the obvious smooth beautiful chunk of basalt on the right entrance to The Grotto, this route starts just left of the obvious crack (Bong Crack, 5.10c).
Agreed, tricky, and thought-provoking, but everything's there and there are plenty of opportunties for rests, keeping it at the 10a end IMO. Fun route for sure.
