[Hide Comment] Crux is not well protected. Blow it and you'll drop to a somewhat long fall. Oct 21, 2013

[Hide Comment] Good warmup. Sometime holds is hard to find and can be a reach for shorter climbers Aug 5, 2018
[Hide Comment] Pull on the jugs to the bouldery crux after the 4th bolt - sequence it correctly and it's not arduous. Jun 15, 2019

[Hide Comment] Feels harder than 5.9 your first time but definitely feels like the right grade when you know the holds. Detracting factors are how slimy it can get even after a dry spell. Don't reach too far into the flake unless you want some damp dirt. Apr 21, 2021

[Hide Comment] The crux is well protected. By the time your above it clipping the next one there's a great clipping jug. Don't be worried about any run out. Aug 4, 2021

[Hide Comment] Decent route that gets enough traffic to stay clean. Crux not super obvious the first time. Aug 29, 2021
