[Hide Comment] This climb should be required for every newbie gym climber that takes a lead class. It's nearly impossible to find such an aesthetic tower that has such a quality easy route bolted all the way up in one pitch. May 30, 2012

  5.9
[Hide Comment] I just did this a couple of days ago and I thought it was solid 5.9 if you go direct at the top. It is a tad easier if you go right to join Pecker Wrecker but still 5.8 or 5.9 that way as well. My friends thought it was badly sandbagged too. On the quality side, this is quite good. Nice rock and neat holds abound on this fun outing. Jan 27, 2025
