[Hide Comment] Me and my wife did this today after climbing all morning and I really liked this route as a calm-me-down but really fun one Oct 18, 2008

[Hide Comment] Probably could use another bolt between second and third as its a popular area with some new leaders jumping on climbs here. A fall while trying to clip the last bolt (which is slightly awkward and out high left) would result in a major whip ending a few feet above the ground...guess that's where Stevens' Kentucky fried bowel movement part comes in...

[Hide Comment] I was real puckered getting to that third bolt so I’d say the name is appropriate Jul 31, 2022

[Hide Comment] A tad spicy for a 5.7 for sure. Climbs a bit harder (maybe 5.7+?) and is much more run out that most other Maple Climbs. Still a fun one, but not for the new 5.7 leader for sure. Jun 5, 2024
