[Hide Comment] the upper section was good fun, although maybe the three bolts to the ledge were a bit overkill? Apr 19, 2010

[Hide Comment] A 60m rope is sufficient for this really nice route. Careful pulling your rope as we dislodged fist-sized rocks from the ledge. Oct 22, 2012

[Hide Comment] we climbed up and belayed from the ledge, the belayer wont be able to see you from the ground and if you fall above the bolt after the ledge with rope stretch you might break an ankle besides the ledge is a cool spot to hang out. Feb 9, 2018

[Hide Comment] You might. I added the first three bolts with Slate's permission to make it a sport route. He's a great climber and ballsy dude. Feb 9, 2018
