[Hide Comment] Easily the most polished route of Polished Rocks. Enjoyable and easy climb that's great for all order of beginners in any manner of foot wear. As such, the good holds and feet are destined and well on their way to becoming shiny and spit polished marbles of dolomite. Civilization will never look good on Tarzan. Sep 6, 2017
