Description
The Poorperson's guide shows this as a 5.9 w/ a B1 start. I call it a solid 5.10 'cause that's what it is. Good climbing and not too scary for a non local. Crux is between the 1st and 2nd bolts. One might be able to slip in from the side and avoid the crux. The climb has 4 bolts. I put a #3 friend or 2 camalot between the 1st and 2nd bolt. Further above I used or could have used a green and yellow alien, purple 3 cam unit (a tad smaller than a red alien) and a #2 friend. Sorry if I'm too detailed. I carried a big rack. Next time I won't because I have the description here.
