The first pitch epitomizes what a good mixed route should be. A little bit of some kitty litter/exfoliation going on, but the moves are awesome and it protects well. Fun little route in a very cool position Oct 9, 2011

Although easy, the runout on the second pitch to me deserves an R due to the nature of the rock in this area. Apr 22, 2014

The rappel is not one 200'er as the description implies, but two 100' raps down Tecate Crunch. First one is exactly 100 ft; watch those rope ends.

Good climbing with a head's up second pitch... Plenty of bees in the hand crack in the middle of the first pitch on Oct 2 Sep 19, 2017
