[Hide Comment] I thought this route was a chossy piece of crap. Dirty, lichenous rock and crumbly holds. I also found the mantle above the second bolt and the finish to be contrived, somewhat difficult and very unpleasant climbing. Just a different opinion. Jan 1, 2001

[Hide Comment] I'll second Ben's two star opinion. Definitely fun clibining. My only qualm is the slghtly inflated grade, there are 5.8's in Dream that are harder. May 28, 2002

[Hide Comment] I like this climb. The start is steep and pumpy and a little reachy, with varied face and layback moves working up past the first four or five bolts. The middle section (if you stay to the right) has some delicate slab climbing, and the upper section has some steep stemming and face moves. I don't recall any lichenous rock, unless you wander left in the middle of the route. Fun, varied climbing: two stars in my book. Also solid 5.9, especially for shorter people. Aug 23, 2002

[Hide Comment] I found this route contrived and I don't think it's 5.9 if you follow the easiest line. Sep 16, 2002

[Hide Comment] Really nice moderate line; lots of variation in technique. First it's almost steep face moves (probably the cruxiest section), watch the loose block near clip 3. Then turn the corner, run it out a little over 5.5 then clip the 2 slabby bolts, then stem through a juggy corner to reach the anchor. This is a great climb for someone who's starting to lead 5.9 sport routes, or starting to try to feel comfortable above protection. It's pretty easy, so you wont be stressed, but the bolts may seem further apart than a beginner wants them to be, but breathe, it's easy with any hard moves being well-protected. Oh- you could definitely safely climb this one on gear. Feb 1, 2003

[Hide Comment] Extremely fun climb. Be careful clipping the first bolt, it is a bit of a reach for the shorter climber. The upper section of the pitch was very fun and exposed. If you are looking for a nice mellow moderate, hop on this one May 20, 2004

[Hide Comment] The crux comes right off the ground, getting past the first bolt. After that it's a relatively easy cruise. Sep 11, 2004

[Hide Comment] 1 move wonder, but the rock seemed mostly clean and solid. Note that there is a long runout on easy ground after the fourth bolt which may be protected with finger size cams. Sep 29, 2006

[Hide Comment] Great jugs off the start, slightly exposed until the 2nd clip. The hold quality and keeping your cool makes it very safe to get through. There’s a fun crack and then what I found to be the crux is the slab section. There are clean crimps to work on and after the slab you get a cruiser finish to two ring anchors. Apr 5, 2024
