This route had the biggest block come off it when I was cleaning it. That black band at 1/2 height was hiding a 32" TV sized block. I cleaned off a softball sized rock above it went directly down, smacked the top of the black band and dislodged a ruckus. The thing was ripping through the trees making a lot of noise, I thought it was road bound for sure..
This has cleaned up to be a very good route. Fun face climbing on good, featured rock. If you are looking for an easier 10a route up there I would recommend this. Great little belay spot right next to that big pine tree as an added bonus; take some beers, kick back and enjoy the Alta life.
