| Regarding description, my main contribution is that the route is sharp! Got on it shortly after it was put up and my hands felt as if they had been punctured by a thousand pins when I was done. I assumed it would mellow out after a few years of traffic, doesn't seem to have happened, although I haven't been on it in two years. Sure makes you think about your feet since you don't want to put much pressure on the hands. The crux for me is pretty close to the top at a bit of a bulge with no "jugs" above it. The temptation is to reach up and crank on small sharp holds, pain; or even to mantle, never did it but would really be painful!!! For me the key is to balance up with the hands and focus on the feet and "walk" up through this bit. Regarding crowding; I feel it is a worthwhile, independent line with a character distinct from Chloe's or Shealyn's and a nice addition to this face. Regarding the PG13 rating, I won't second guess the FAist but personally felt it is a well protected, nicely bolted pitch. |

| when i first climbed at rumney between 15 and 20 years ago everything at the meadows and parkinglot wall was as sharp as losbill describes... Thats one good thing about the over crowding, my hands dont bleed as much when i climb there thanks to the traffic... |

| I'm not sure why DQ put it as pg 13 either.. there are plenty of bolts it seems.. even a few too many at the bottom. Great long warm up. Similar to Cloe's but harde. I also have 13 bolts written in my book. |

| Not sure if the 50 ft refers to the climb above the mossy ramp section or the whole climb but if Chloe's is 70 ft in here this should be the same, if not more. |

| The anchors are 80 feet from the ground. I climbed it today with a fat 50m rope and lowered. Just enough rope to safely make it. |
