Out on a Limb 

The start as mentioned by Tony B's discription is truly the shit. Height, flexability, bad gas, and a zit or two makes it difficult at best. Beyond that it remains tough but fun as all get out. There is a small boulder off to the right when facing your partner that can easily and safely be slung for an anchor. Pro works as well in the mid sizes in particular. I lean towards the 5.10c a bit that Tony spoke of. Either that or 5.9+ (Jtree special)

Big D and I did this on top rope yesterday. Cams, tri-cams work fine.You can place most any size somewhere as well as slinging an area or two. I have led this thing twice and for some reason had more difficulty doing it on a top rope. That makes no sense to me. But little does. The weather has been perfect. Nice that so many have left........

5.9 A0. Move off the ledge is a showstopper if you can't reach the ok pinch/sidepull. Stretch, grow a few inches, etc, or do what I did, grab that first bolt and yard through. Remainder of the climbing was generic Josh low angle face/slab.

Vogel is right, the start is basically impossible if you are under 5'11. Worth aiding through the first move to superfun climbing above.

Tried this for the first time today. I'm 5'8" and the start would require me to highstep my foot to my navel and then stand on it. With no hands. 10b? Sheesh...

Hard to start if you are shorter. When I got to the scary mantle I realized why the climb was dubbed Out on a Limb. Not much fun falling from the mantle above your bolt.

Fortunately I'm 6'4" and felt that the start was, although powerful, very doable. This route was thrilling and balancy at the surprise crux mantle just below the last bolt.

Mantle was a bit scary and bolt is ~3ft below your feet when making the move.

I give it 5.10b A0 - couldn't boulder through the opening move and had to use the first bolt for aid, but I'm old and stiff and high steps are a thing of the past, not sure it would've made any difference anyway as I'm 5'-11".

Crux reminded me of the crux of Figures on a Landscape.

Will S; low angle? Maybe you did it before the big 'quake...?

It's a great route.

10b cheating. I'm 5'10" but with a 6" cheater stone 6'4". ;) Largo said it was "a jug haul."

Took me a good 20 mins to figure out the easiest start beta, keep reading if you want it- if you can deathgrip half-tips crimps as sidepulls you can high-step the skirt (which looks like the most obvious solution); otherwise, pinch/hug the skirt (there are some ridges you can undercling on) and build your left leg up on the ramp underneath the bulge. Then the fun part, right heel-hook next to the polished notch in the skirt and that will keep you on the rock (in addition to pulling right-hand on the sidepull crimps) while you reach up to the little bulgy flake thing.

I'm not usually one for posting advanced beta but if you get frustrated, this is what worked best for me (and didn't feel impossibly hard either).

If you're TRing, you can pull up on a draw on the first bolt, and clip the rope on second bolt to have a nice directional to prevent swinging if you slip).

5.10bish with A0 for the first bolt. I'm 5'6 and I can see the move going if I was over 6 foot tall and can reach the left hand side pull and step on the skirt
