[Hide Comment] If I'm not mistaken on which route this is, a pretty important hold was broken off the near the top yesterday. Definately harder now. Oct 5, 2008

[Hide Comment] Did this for the first time since that hold broke near the top and it was much harder for me now. Anyone else done this since it broke? Aug 23, 2009

[Hide Comment] Climbed it today. Perfect fall day. Really hard. 4th day on. Dropped a rope to work the moves. As someone who still has to try hard to send a V7, I definitely tried hard. This line is legitimately harder than V5. V6 if you call me an over-grader, but I'd give anyone that sends this 7 points. Nov 14, 2011
