| The guidebook suggests a 5.7 rating for this route but it felt to me like a solid 5.8, talking to other climbers that sent this one that seems to be the general consensus as well. |

| Classic! If something this short could be considered to be. Wet and wide in plAces. |

| The old guidebook lists it as a 5.8. I think it's been sandbagged. Definitely a 5.8. Great climb. Kind of a bouldery start, but eases up a bit higher. Takes gear well, a couple of #3's and #4's will get you up the majority of it. Threw a number one in up top to protect the move to the anchors. Good times. |

| no way its a 5.8, compare it to hackberry 5.9-,deft jam, 5.9, wma 5.9+. its nice and low angle with SOLID feet and good jams. If you think that is a sandbagged 5.7 good luck out west.....it was changed to be comparable to crack Meccas of America. id say the ratings are still a little soft compared to Lumpy, Eldo, Red Rocks, and J-tree. not bashing just sharing some of my experiences. Great route good gear like Jon said |
