[Hide Comment] The first clip might look intimidating, but unless you are really short it isn't bad. The crux is still down low, though, so you'll need an attentive belayer to keep you out of the dirt. Mar 3, 2009

[Hide Comment] I know personally of at least two key holds that have broken over the year's (I'm one of those heavier climbers), which has increased the original difficulty rating of the route. Oct 30, 2013
