[Hide Comment] Love this route! Three variations at the crux/top:

Left into depression then traverse back right, good at 11a and most interesting.

Straight up, eeking slightly right: hardest 11b/c.

Traverse right to slanting crack. Easiest, 10d? Nov 15, 2008

[Hide Comment] A nice route that gradually gets harder as you get higher that reaches a cresendo crux sequence getting past the last bolt. Sep 21, 2010
