| I've heard of this climb being referred to as one of (the left) the "5.7 Corners". I was surprised to see it graded as both 5.5 and PG13. In my opinion the protection is great and it's at least 5.6. Great stances the whole way but some fun moves in between. |

| Is this referring the left "5.7" corner? I found the protection on the climb to be adequate and there is an old piton out to the right to protect the crux (should you choose not to go straight up the corner). In my opinion the climb is a solid 5.7, as the other name implies. |

| Gear is a little spacey if you don't bring anything small, but the runouts are exciting. Def not a 5.5- I don't know where that grade came from. Solid 5.7, if not soft 5.8. |

| See the new Peckham guidebook. This is "The 5.7 Corner". It protects very well with a standard rack. The pin mentioned above is not especially useful as lead pro, but does serve as a helpful directional if top roping from the trees. Without it, a climber falling in the crux section can pendulum back in to the left wall of the corner. |
