Description 

Awesome stemming route especially if you have long legs. The book claims anyone over 6' can drop a letter grade, make what you want of that. placing gear on the left seemed best to me. Hard part is seeing what you place. Eventually move left to a bolted anchor or top out.


Protection 

many small tcu's and stoppers.

The book is correct. I'd say it's 5.11b if are short, or 5.10d if you are tall.

did you climb it before and after a growth spurt?

I thought this climb was about 5.10c, especially in comparison to routes at Devil's Tower. Lots of finicky small wires. For what it's worth, I'm 5'5"
