[Hide Comment] My first outdoor lead! Good climb. Seemed hard as hell at the time, but I'm sure it really ain't too bad. Nerves got the best of me being my first lead. Dec 8, 2003

[Hide Comment] Relatively good climbing with poor bolt placement... the bolts imply a face climb while the moves imply a crack climb, likely an attempt by the FA party to affoid controversy involved with bolting a crack - ? Oct 18, 2004

[Hide Comment] we did this route once sticking to the face , and once in the crack. I think the crack is overall steeper/more pumpy, but the face is more thin. The upper just follows the crack pretty much, but I remember great pockets higher up. Oct 18, 2004

[Hide Comment] P.S. you can also jam the crack insead of laybacking. Oct 18, 2004

[Hide Comment] The bolt placement was fine, if you place bolts to the right more the rock isn't as good. I would rather reach to clip than fall on a bad bolt. Mar 5, 2008

[Hide Comment] The bolts require some traversing from the crack to clip, but it's definitely the crack you want to climb. Apr 13, 2008

[Hide Comment] I've climbed this a couple of times, and while it's a good route, I have to agree with the bolt line being too far left. The crack is clearly the natural line here, and the bolt line is far enough left to make it feel awkward staying in the crack. I felt constantly pulled out of the crack towards face moves farther left in order to move back to the bolt line. Perhaps the FA party was trying to offer 2 variations with a single bolt line? Or perhaps as Amato said they were trying to avoid controversy by bolting the crack? It would be interesting to hear from the FA party.... Not sure if I agree with the comment about the rock quality being too bad to bolt a bit farther right. This isn't a huge safety issue, just strange enough to make it feel awkward. Oct 10, 2012

[Hide Comment] All true but fine, except that clip over the little roof. Sketchy. Getting over the roof was some work, but a really nice series of bouldering moves.

Also, some of the crack is now really greasy and polished. Oct 15, 2013

[Hide Comment] This route is awesome! Bolt placement is fine and the moves are great. Climb it! Nov 13, 2015

[Hide Comment] This was one of those "why" bolt lines!!! Just didn't make sense, almost like they wanted to originally walk the crack and then decided "F-That". Apr 10, 2016
