| Fun moves, with some tricky beta. Pumps you out more than you would think for the distance. |

| Murf, you climb a lot in Josh, you really think that thing is .11b? I led it today after not climbing in Josh for 4 months & hung after the first bolt. Figured it was my head, grains, ... but not the grade. Confirm it's a true 11b and I'll be pretty happy vs. disgusted I hung when I didn't need to.
After you get established it really is some fun climbing and absolutely worth doing if you're in the area. May be short but packs a good punch.
Finish hold to clip the anchors can be a burner. Also make note that even though the route is 2 bolts I clipped the chain anchors at the ledge too so bring an extra draw when linking up humorous with the Ridiculous Finish. |

| I'm kinda done w/a,b,c,d, more into 11-, 11, 11+. I think it's 5.11 for the onsite grade. You get this feeling you should undergrade because this bit is so short, but it's tricky, and punchy for its length. You have to think about the ledge that you never get quite far off.
In short, I sound like locker... 5.8+++. |

| Fun, and worth the tick if you're at the anchor looking up at it. Good holds, with engaging movement. Felt 10+/11- to me. I didn't realize how steep this mini-pitch was until I looked down from the anchors! |

| Not sure about previous comments, but I climbed this on 1/26/13 and found the thing to be a choss pile. The moves are cool but the rock definitely leaves something to be desired.
Oh yea, and a very crucial knob right in the middle of the crux ripped off right in my hand, mid move. So, its probably harder now.
Keep climbing it and it will be 5.13 in no time... |
