[Hide Comment] Fun Fun. I thought the hardest part was clipping my gear into the two-bolt anchor! The holds were all there, and pretty big the whole way. Totally fun climb though, get's the adrenaline going. Jun 6, 2009

[Hide Comment] Classic climb, one of the best at the quarry especially in the 10 range. May seem a little harder at first but just find the good holds, there's always one around. Jul 22, 2011

[Hide Comment] I wouldn't call it a jug haul, but also not thin. Plenty of good rests and well bolted. Nov 9, 2011

[Hide Comment] Got on this today. It was a really fun sport route and made my first trip (today) to the Quarry a good one. Only crux is through the orange streak. After that is just a pump factor. Feb 24, 2012

[Hide Comment] Will a 60m rope be long enough to rap off this route? Mar 13, 2012

[Hide Comment] Great climb, but unfortunately the anchors (rappel rings and chain)are covered in rust--as of 9/1/14. Sep 1, 2014

[Hide Comment] Bolts and rings are still pretty rusty, but seemed solid enough to rap off. Some of the feet in the middle orange section seem to be getting a little smooth. Sep 5, 2015

[Hide Comment] Watch out for the big hollow/loose spike that you clip the anchor from! Dec 22, 2016
