| Fantastic climb - fun climbing, some interesting moves above the roof, great exposure, and a free rappel back to the water at the base of the route. Take care not to get your rope too wet. |

| I have mixed feelings about this route, it was a choss fest with great exposure and heinous rope drag. Crux moves are protected piss poorly. The rock is extremely hollow, I wouldn't trust it. I ended up making a new line and going further around the corner up a ramp. I had to dig out a crack to protect it. The moves there felt harder than 5.6 (but most Wichita 5.6's do). Although the rock was dirty, the route was exposed and the rope drag horrid, I think I like the route. Just make sure it's the last climb you do for the day as your rope is going to get wet. |

| ROPE DRAG! I think I extended every piece any still had terrible rope drag. Crux move (which is near the top(12ft left of the anchors) heading back towards the anchors) is not protected well. |

| I'm not sure about the rope drag complaints. I'll say this, if you're cool running it out a little bit, it's worth not protecting at the left-most part of the traverse before moving back right so there's a little less drag, and as Brent said, use full shoulder length runners to reduce the drag. just my two cents. more fun than i expected. |
