Sweet and Low 

Anybody know anything about this route? My guess is that the rating is 5.4 or 5.5. Fun route.

There is no way any of this feels like 5.7 - difficulty is nowhere near as hard as any of the 5.6 sport routes at Salt Lake Slips or Storm Mountain Island. 5.4 or maybe 5.5 feels about right.

Definitely agree that you could deck clipping the second bolt and that it probably should be a bit lower with an additional bolt above it. However, I can't imagine how you could fall while clipping it. Maybe not a great first lead, but a fine 4th or 5th lead.

I'll give it two stars because I can't think of a better sport route this easy in BCC.

The route is also a bit dirty toward the top, with a bush in the bolt line, which is why we gave it only one star.

Not a 5.5, not a 5.7. How about 5.6. Anyway, it seemed to me to be a very squeezed route, that close to the crack (Birth Simulator). Very positive edges almost the entire way. It felt like 5.5 most of the way with a bit of 5.6 near the 3rd bolt. A great route for young ones and other beginners.

I am the first to claim "squeeze job" normally, but since the birth simulator is a total crap pile that doesn't see any action anyway, this is probably not that bad. However...that being said, this is at most a 5.5/5.6. WAY easier than six apeal, or some other bolted 5.6's in the canyon. 5.5 at best, 5.7?? are you serious? were you intentionally skipping the jugs? What is sad is that someone spent some money equipping this silly thing, and coral bells (a classic and stiff for the grade!) is in serious need of a retro fit. Go figure.

After sketching out a bit after the third bolt on Coral Bells, I jumped on this one as a little confidence builder, and found it to be a bit lacking in that due to the ease of the route......I understand 4th class and I understand 5.6....everything in between is kinda a blur, and that fell into the easier part of this blur for me....much easier than Six Appeal...easier than Italian, easier than Roll the Bones.....and comparing it to other nearby 5.6 offereings, there is no question.....Schoolroom?? Steort's?? Jig's up?? I headed up to Touch of Teflon to get my mojo back.

Okay, fair enough. Reclimbed this route, and several other 5.6-5.7's and I must revise my rating. 5.5 seems more correct. The route is WAY easier than Becky's (5.7) and easier than the crux moves on Steort's. I maintain that missing the second clip could result in deckfall, regardless of how easy the route may be. Be aware, fledling leaders, and be careful.

Prior ratings revised accordingly. Beta not edited.

Feels like a 5.5 for sure. If you stay to the right of the bolts its like walking up stairs. This would be a good first lead for a new leader.

I've actually climbed Birth Simulator...and it is a bit harder not to mention dirty as hell from never getting done and a gear climb in an area that is mainly 'sport'...I think this route is 5.5 at most...

Since no one is suggesting names, and I hate people confusing it with Birth Simulator (which is an entirely different route)...why not call it Birth Stimulator or Earth Simulator or some such?

In the end...I guess "that easy climb to the right of Birth Simulator" is good enough to communicate what and where you mean :)

Nobody knows who put this one up, eh? It's really, really popular!

5.5 at best.

I've done this route a couple of times over the summer, and I'd have to say it's a little harder than the staircase at the mall. Since the easiest thing I've climbed is a 5.6, I can't give an accurate rating, but this is way easier than any local 5.6 sport route I've done. It's a good route if you are taking someone out for a first time climbing experience. I'm sure the easy climbing and easy access are the major factors contributing to its popularity.

Certainly easy and well protected. A wonderful beginner lead on quailty rock. My 5 yr. old daughter Emma brownsited it. She said "the most fun thing I've ever done."
