[Hide Comment] One of the dryer routes we climbed today, but it was still dirty at the top. It would be a decent climb with more traffic. Oct 12, 2008

[Hide Comment] Agreed, the last few holds can be very muddy if there's been rain recently, but luckily they're all pretty big. Apr 17, 2019

[Hide Comment] This is sand bag at 5.8. It’s more like low 10. This whole wall is counter top polished, the other two routes are arguably still 5.8ish, but this route isn’t anymore. Oct 7, 2020
