[Hide Comment] Great training route. I always thought it was 12d but I really hate the moves at the 2nd bolt. Feb 8, 2008

[Hide Comment] In the book this is 5.12d! I think though that if you are over 5'8 this route proves a lot easier as there is beta through the first boulder problem that is pretty chill compared to if you were shorter! If you are 5'8 or under, Take 12d!!! Much much harder that way! Hard to grade because of the height disparities that occur! Sep 16, 2019

[Hide Comment] I think it's 12d if you follow Nick Knowles' red dashed line photo, which matches the guidebook. This isn't the path of least resistance which most people take instead, moving straight and rightward on amazing jugs until making a sharp left to re-join. There's a permadraw meant for this route that the path of least resistance circumnavigates as seen in most videos on youtube. Jan 22, 2020

[Hide Comment] My apologies for leaving my blood all over the rock below the third bolt on 2/3/2024. Wear your helmet, folks! Feb 6, 2024
