B-2

Weird for 5.3, feels harder. Sep 10, 2006

I've seen soloists walking up and down the other routes on this rock get on to this route and pause about half way up, look around a little, and seem a little uncomfortable as they finished off this "5.3". Agree with Blitzo on this one.

Still a great route for an aspiring leader - plenty of pro options and pretty good practice for hand jamming. You can do the whole climb as a contrived stemming (hands and feet) exercise as well which probably makes it more like 5.7 Apr 30, 2007

There is a small crux at the middle but nothing to be worried of. Great for beginners, first time trad leaders and soloists. I soloed the set of B climbs as my first solos. Fun stuff! Nov 18, 2008

I give it a 5.4. You can make it a bit more difficult if you use more of the face to the left. The crack has lots of opportunities to jam hands and arms, but can be a bit slippery for the feet.

I had 2 other experienced climbers (5.9ish) struggle midway up the route ... but I thought it was pretty easy.

Also, I doubt this is 60 feet as indicated; I think it's around 40 feet. Feb 15, 2010

My second trad lead, did this one in the dark with headlamps. It was pretty fun. The anchor spot is before the topout - I had to down climb a bit. The anchor takes a pretty bomber #4. Nov 8, 2010

I thought this one was super easy, but my wife (who regularly TR's up to 5.11) slipped off it twice (on TR at the crux), so just be aware that it may be more slippery than it appears. Dec 20, 2010

I thought it was simply more awkward than "difficult," but gave it a 5.4 rating by some immediate comparisons on the rock. Mar 11, 2011

Felt a little awkward. Took the kids out and top roped B1, B2, & B3. Everyone agreed this was the most difficult of the three. Still fun. Jan 3, 2012

Soloed the other routes no problem but this one always gets the heart racing a little in that one awkward spot. Mar 5, 2018
