You rarely if ever, put up FA's easier than 5.11...What's happening? Sep 11, 2008

Well Bri, technically that's not accurate:

Fun with some long reaches to good holds. Staying left in the cracks would be considerably harder.
I liked the anchor. May 20, 2009

I did do it staying left. Harder for sure. But those big holds out right just suck you over, so I graded it that way because I think that'll see the most ascent. Jun 26, 2009

Xs appeared on top of the route on a bunch of large blocks that looked super solid when I first did the route but now ring alarmingly hollow when you hit them. Seems like the endless stream of people TRing the line is taking its toll (it's the new Unction!!).
The base has been leveled nicely and a bunch of trees dragged over to make a platform but the top is going to come down pretty soon. Maybe a project for the SLCA crag day along with some Woogie action? Aug 10, 2009

Unfortunately, along with numerous fixed pitons being stolen in the canyon, the cool slung stopper on the bolt for half of the anchor has been stolen as well. We climbed this route today and discovered this. Someone is building up some bad karma. Nov 7, 2010

If you follow the bolt line and stay slightly left its a much funner route than going right, which is dirty as hell. Harder though with some great sidepulls...maybe 10a or 10b. Anchor as of now is a bolt with a ring and a sling on the hangerless bolt. Jul 29, 2011

Fun route, definitely worth doing. As others have said, the more you veer left the harder the moves become. Solid granite, good smearing fiction available. The anchor needs to be re-worked; there were two bolts, one missing a hanger and was slung with some sun-weathered nylon webbing which should be replaced with an actual hanger. Jul 10, 2012

Climbs better then it looks, worth doing.. Aug 19, 2015
