[Hide Comment] One of my favorite routes at HCR. A crimpy, vertical face leads to a ledge and sustained, juggy headwall to finish, with the redpoint crux (for me) being the last move to the anchors. Very cool! Oct 20, 2008

[Hide Comment] Pretty cool route! The bottom (vertical) portion of this route is filled with micro crimps and small feet. It's fairly sustained and probably clocks in at a hard 5.10 or easy 11. Once you get to the enormous ledge, have lunch, maybe tan for an hour or 2 (don't forget sunblock) and head up the blocky overhang.

consider setting up a top rope and having your buddy climb up to clean your quickdraws to avoid the strenuous clean (if I remember correctly). Aug 17, 2015

[Hide Comment] Fantastic route. Really good sustained climbing with a fun roof. I would bring a stick clip for the first bolt. Its easy climbing, but about 22 feet up. Sep 3, 2019

[Hide Comment] Feels more like 2 separate 5.11a climbs stacked on top of each other. Neither has any stopper moves, felt pretty easy for the grade (even for HCR) Oct 4, 2020
