[Hide Comment] Surprisingly stiff for the grade; the moves past the second bolt are balancy. The "huge holds" referred to in the guidebook don't exist, somebody told me they all broke off. That might explain how sharp the remaining holds are. May 16, 2010

[Hide Comment] I would only call this stiff for the grade for Muir. IMHO, its stiffer than the other 5.9s at Muir, but its a nice climb with a lot of good balance moves. Apr 2, 2012
