Under the Boardwalk 

Beware that the guidebook for this area notes this climb at 5.10b. If you just came from the Black Corridor this jug haul will have some serious surprise compared to the 5.10b/c's over there. This route IMHO is NOT to be missed as everything is there; obvious jugs but so many really fun surprises await!

yeah uh this rating is diffrent for red rocks considering how most of red rocks can be over rated i believe that this climb is under rated a technical crux at the start and a slopey hard finish, this climb is a lot harder than it looks i think only the middle section could be a 5-10b the rest is a lot harder than it looks and most of the holds are in bad need of cleaning, slopers so smooth with black shoe and rubeed over chalk residue dosent make it much better,but worth checking out its in the shade most of the day. rex

I am glad someone else thought this was hard for 5.10b. It was a stiff warmup. I guess it should not be a surprise about the ratings on this cliff, since the majority of the lines are 5.12's.

A beautiful line no matter what the rating might be...

up until the brock book was released, this route was rated at .11b (for a good laugh- note that Jared McMillan (co-author of Brock's book) rated this route .11b in his sport climbing guide....)

i dont think its quite .11b- i'd say .10d/.11a. If you're shorter, the start will add some difficulties.

really fun, though!

This was a fun route that I though was 5.9/10/a until the crux finish sequence which was much harder probably 10.d. I may have also felt hard since we had done Epi the day before. I don't think that it was 5.11, it just takes you by supprise the first time you do it. The second time when I knew what was coming it was not nearly as hard. A fun route either way. For the feeling of a solid 5.11 move a few climbs to the left and do Basement, a really interesting and solid 5.11.

Not wanting to endanger the belayer on the slippery slop of Long Walk Off a Short Pier (5.9-), I chose to do the next easiest climb at The Pier - according to the guidebook a 5.10b - very well within my abilities. With a fun and somewhat exposed start, a potentially bad landing if you don't hit the first bolt, it was clear from the beginning that this wasn't going to be a 5.10b. The climb is sustained through a series of huecos and leans back most all of the way. Many of the holds are positive although as Rex noted earlier they tended to be gummed with rubber and chalk, especially the sloper-holds. The finale at the end of the pumpfest is a sticky set of sport clips hanging on the end of the chains. Based on my experience of topping out at 5.11a/b's on lead and in comparison to numerous 5.10's throughout RR, I confidently rate this a 5.11a, and well worth the climb.

Give yourself 11a if you care. Super fun moves with a great rest in the middle (probably what lowers the grade). The crux is getting off the deck and the very last move to the anchors.

Big hold broke at the last crux (not me). I thought it felt different!!
