[Hide Comment] Yeah, I have to agree with Gunkie Mike: The pro' on this is just fine--"G" as the newest guidebook describes it. A nice, steep lead.

[Hide Comment] Gear is "G", bottom is steep, pumpier than it looks. I would not call the holds thin, bomber horizontals. Last 2/3rds is joyful and happy. There is a tree at top of climb for easy anchor. Walk off to the left.

I changed to gear rating from PG13 to no warning - JSH Jun 12, 2017

[Hide Comment] See the photo I just put up. It corrects erroneous info in the guidebook (photo pg 39) re. the line for "Old Route" and "Anna's Route". The route "Sensitive Side" is also farther left than where it is shown in the guide. Jun 15, 2017

[Hide Comment] There's a pair of glue-in bolts atop this route. They may be hard to find from above. Apr 30, 2019

[Hide Comment] Totally G with small gear, but the gear was a bit challenging to figure out on lead. I placed a black Totem before what I thought was the crux, and without something in that size, groundfall might be possible there (hard to say, but you'd at least be cutting it close). Oct 25, 2020

[Hide Comment] Pumpy first 30 feet leads to a fun and chill top out. Gear is good, but strenuous to place. Sep 11, 2021
