[Hide Comment] One of the great climbs at the city! You may have to wait in line for this one but it's worth it. View from the top is as spectacular as the climb. The bottom half is killer and the runout upper half is easy but so much fun. Jul 26, 2004

[Hide Comment] Wow! Be sure to climb this route, it is excellent. Aug 19, 2005

Nathan Fisher West Bountiful   5.8

[Hide Comment] Not nearly as runout as I remembered it. Bring small cams for the upper face and you can sew it up. A great lead for a 5.8-5.9 leader. Sep 5, 2005

[Hide Comment] I didn't think the upper face was sparsely protected at all. There are numerous places to put nuts between patina plates, very similar to Red Rocks. May 29, 2007

[Hide Comment] This was my first trad lead and even though I had to downclimb to lengthen the sling at the crux undercling, it was such a fabulous climb. Highly recommended!!! Jun 25, 2007

[Hide Comment] Had to bail from route just above crux in hail storm on 6/5. Use a long sling to extend your bail anchor to avoid crack from eating your rope. Jun 12, 2009

[Hide Comment] Classic line! One 60m rope will just reach when rapping from the top anchors. Aug 23, 2009

Gary Schmidt Boulder, CO

[Hide Comment] the "crux" traverse really is not that bad. Can easily put in two good pieces along the way with good hands and adequate feet. Such a cool climb and yes a 60 meter (contrary to the guidebook) will get you down. Jun 27, 2010

Riley Rollins

[Hide Comment] A fun route with a great view at the summit...but 4 stars? I thought the best part of the route was the "crux" traverse, and the rest just so-so. I would give batwings 4 stars over this line. Just my opinion. Oct 5, 2011

[Hide Comment] this is a must do. Keep climbing all the way to the top for the anchors. Great juggs for the final push. "Hero holds" Apr 16, 2012

[Hide Comment] Never feels insecure. Traverse gets your attention with only adequate feet but the undercling is solid and takes gear well. Protected upper face with several horizontal C4's but really is easy climbing once you leave the crack. Bucket land from there all the way to the top with an amazing top-out and view. Sweet climb.

[Hide Comment] You can downclimb Morning Glory Spire on the south side - probaly 5.5/6 - should you ever find yourself on top without a rope. Nov 23, 2012

K Baumgartner   5.7

[Hide Comment] Undercling move was underwhelming. Extend your runners to reduce drag. 70m gets you down to the ledge where Fall Line commences. Jun 27, 2013

Daniel Nelson Jackson, WY

[Hide Comment] Fantastic Route mostly because of view from top/location. A 70m rope is enough to comfortably rap on. Intimidating Undercling start probably 5.8, but well protected with small gear prior to committing fully. The vast majority of this route is cruiser 5.6/7. Must do! Oct 29, 2013

M A Bozeman, MT

[Hide Comment] I was unaware that the route broke right at the bulge to follow the left trending under cling and instead I climbed straight up the bulge with micro gear through the seam. It was certainly harder than 5.8, but does anybody know what it goes at? Great climb! Nov 12, 2013

[Hide Comment] If you can sit through the video on this link (sorry it's long) you'll get a good look at this amazing route and the quality of the rock. No question the best 5.8 in the City. This is a few years ago and so it's a GoPro Hero 1. Love the view at the top. youtu.be/2O3hwZgqFrY Nov 22, 2014

[Hide Comment] Please be aware that a 60M rope will NOT reach the ground if the descender is to the anywhere to the left of the ledge the climb starts on. Advice to the contrary found in a guidebook contributed to a fall and broken ankle -- lucky we dodged more severe injuries or death! I advise to use at least 70m rope for however you choose to get off this climb. Jun 15, 2015

Andrew Gerald Thaller   5.6

[Hide Comment] Great climb and a classic, however comparing it to "City" routes I feel it is easier than Fred 5.8, White Flake 5.8 and Triple Roofs 5.7. In comparing it to High Exposure 5.6 in the Gunks, it is easier. I am saying 5.6. Jul 25, 2016

[Hide Comment] Gunk's grades are lies Andrew...don't ever use them as standards. Skyline has been 5.8 for 60 years...the underling is the crux and is over quickly. High Exposure is not accurately graded for US standards. I've climbed both routes many times and as a strange as it may seem at the 5.8 grade, High exposure would be more of a power endurance 5.8 where Skyline would be more Bouldery. Both routes are among my favorites. Jul 25, 2016

Andrew Gerald Thaller   5.6

[Hide Comment] probably right Bheller, who care right climbing is fun :) Nov 11, 2016

LA G	[Hide Comment] This route is located on the morning glory spire. Beautiful line with spicy section, the gear is pretty good, though it gets a little thin and run out of the top Here is a video I put together. Hope you enjoy!! youtube.com/watch?v=H8HqqGH… Nov 14, 2017

Kristian And Marie   5.7+

[Hide Comment] 2 stars for climbing, 4 stars for the view. Climbing is straightforward, with a short crux. In my opinion, Chimney on Morning Glory Spire and two other 5.8 climbs on Lower Breadloaves - Provo Wall (White Flake and Triple Roofs) have more memorable moves. Jun 23, 2021

Colin Brochard San Diego, CA   5.8

[Hide Comment] Worth doing for the novelty alone. The hilariously positive and bomber 5.8 runout jugs at the top were just a bonus. Do it. Aug 3, 2022

Kevin Patterson Lower Hutt, NZ   5.8

[Hide Comment] Superb climb with a little bit of everything, crack, crimping and undercling traverse. Protects well all the way to the DBA chains Sep 15, 2022

Elise B Salt Lake City

[Hide Comment] Awesome route, all the "hard" stuff protects very well. FWIW, the first time I got on this my partner and I got suckered into the chains to the right, but the actual anchors are at the very top of the formation. Quest straight up/left through really good patina w little to no protection. May 14, 2023
