[Hide Comment] A great route with a slabby crux that takes more mental fortitude than physical burl. May 2, 2008

[Hide Comment] Don't go left at the crux at the oh so tempting plate near the bolt on the next route over! Stick it out and balance for an exciting finish! May 18, 2010

[Hide Comment] This was an extremely fun route, easier than the 10c rating in my opinion. Extremely varied climb, with a plate-jug haul mid way through up to a slabby crux. Start is over hung and even a crack option. Great, great route. Sep 3, 2010

[Hide Comment] Little bit of everything on this one. Get pumped on the plated jugs down low and then balance to the top on the slab and slopers. Quite exciting! Apr 28, 2011
[Hide Comment] super varied, long enough, definitely opportunities to rest Sep 5, 2013

[Hide Comment] Best 5.10 route from top to bottom at the Gallery, nice variety and easy to make harder than necessary if you don't pay attention. Sep 7, 2016

[Hide Comment] This might be a problem exactly specific to my body dimensions, but...
I think what happened was I was trying to clip the bold above the bulge, my tie-in knot was pressed against the bolt below and unclipped the draw from the bolt, so when I fell clipping I had effectively skipped a bolt and took a massive whipper. I ended up with the quickdraw hanging on the rope just above my harness. The fall was safe--into air mostly with a soft bump against the wall (thanks Pete!) but probably not what you want. 2 days ago
