| After getting past the finger crack, the remainder of the route is 5.7+ with a few moves of 5.8. Beware of a basketball size rock sitting loose on a shelf in the wide crack about 3/4 of the way up. It looks attached so you might be inclined to pull on it. It will move if you do. |

| Agreed - 5 moves of 5.9 followed by 100+ feet of 5.7. Still fun, and a long route that eats up gear from C3s to #4 camalots. |
