[Hide Comment] Short, but more powerful than standard Index fare. The difficulty increases at each bolt, crescendoing to a pumpy little boulder problem. Fun shortie!! Aug 14, 2013

[Hide Comment] The anchors on this route were chopped summer '14.

You've got to continue up the bolted arete above (5.12) or lower off a single bolt from the ledge where this route had ended. Sep 15, 2014

[Hide Comment] I replaced the anchor on this. Excellent route, should absolutely see more traffic, especially from the gym folks, as it’s got cool board-esq movement! Jul 25, 2024
