Short but very cool looking route. Nice and steep down low.

[Hide Comment] hmmm 3 stars? really?? I can appreciate the installer using painted hangers, but did they have to paint them after they put them in? May 1, 2009

[Hide Comment] Rob - For Josh, I'd say 3 of five *'s. The route isn't your normal slab humping and it's pretty clean. Length is an issue, but at Josh what isn't. It's better than Lee's (2 * consensus on MP) and at least as good as The Popsicle (and more consistent climbing, 3 of 5 *'s). In any case, give it what you think and eventually consensus will be reached. May 1, 2009

[Hide Comment] Fun route. Steep pulling on varied holds, with some interesting moves. Definitely not your typical JT route. Feels a touch harder than Jane's Addiction and a good deal harder than Big Moe, for comparison. Mar 30, 2010
[Hide Comment] A smidge harder than Lee's. Totally worthwhile little pull session. May 3, 2010

[Hide Comment] A little loose down low, but a fun and challenging crux section. Oct 25, 2010

[Hide Comment] Had a large chunk of the chossy undercling explode square into my face while standing up on the dike. The move seems a bit more difficult now that there is a chunk missing from the horizontal crack. The bottom section is fun and unique for the area. Mar 9, 2014
[Hide Comment] Never did figure out how to pull thru the crux just above the last bolt -- there's not much to work with! Very stout indeed. Any beta for me? Apparently doesn't get much traffic this high up, since there's lots of grains being kicked off by one's feet. Dec 9, 2017
