[Hide Comment] A #3 is handy. A #2 and a #4 are not. Climbs better than it looks! Jul 11, 2011

[Hide Comment] A nice warmup for the crag. My buddy used nothing larger than a #1, so I guess gear is variable. It's an arguable 10a, I could see it being that or a 5.9. There is a definite section pulling around a bulge into the last bit of crack climbing toward the anchor where feet aren't apparent and you've got to trust in some fingerlocks that aren't as deep as you'd like. The insecurity of that section has me leaning towards 10a. Sep 15, 2011
