This route is very hard. A great send by Dave. Have your game face on for this one. Mar 23, 2007

This is basically a slab route compared to the modern sport climbing paradigm. It reminded me a bit of the hard climbing at Smith--technical, weight on your feet moves with small holds, relatively sparsely bolted. Definitely hard. Jun 25, 2007

Wow, the upper half of this route has a lot of moves. I felt the crux is at the top right after the last roof. Anyone know if this has seen many leads? Bolts are quite sparse...pretty bad ass lead if one were to do so. This was my first time on the routes left of Zigzag, seems like they dont see much action for their quality. Cool routes on good stone. Jul 22, 2007

I think this route may be missing a bolt near the top. Aug 13, 2007

I asked dave about this route. He said back in the day when he put this up the ethic was different, least amount of bolts possible. I think safety was not so big an issue back then. He said retro bolting these routes would not be a bad idea.... to make them a safe fun lead. However with all the buzz about bolts at this place it kinda feels like a bad idea... thoughts anyone?

I would like to see these retro bolted. As of right now with the run outs, sketchy bolts and no top anchors, these routes are way to intimidating for me. Aug 19, 2007

Re-bolted in October 2022, we added 2 bolts and a top anchor. Enjoy! Nov 1, 2022

Super happy to put this one away! Beta video below. Ended up being much more bouldery than I expected initially. Had everything but the crux dialed pretty fast, but the high foot crux sequence ended up being pretty low percentage for me for some reason. Felt a bit harder than Whiskey, but that could be down to personal strengths/weaknesses.

Maybe just a touch cold at 40 degrees today. My fingers numbed out right at the crux. Felt good to one hang it, but that was a big bummer! Next time! Nov 17, 2023
