[Hide Comment] Waaaay soft for the grade. I climbed the whole thing pretty much without hands. The rock is so grippy that you can basically walk up it. Good choice for a first lead climb. Jul 27, 2014

[Hide Comment] A step down from the easiest routes at Feathers in terms of challenge, a great place to bring kids for their first outdoor climb plus the hike. This would be considered easy 5th class in the mountains. May 10, 2019

[Hide Comment] Wet rock added some spice. Still a delight to climb a slab that's this easy but also this clean. Jan 7, 2021
[Hide Comment] From left-to-right, each route becomes more enjoyable. One note is the gap between the 2nd and 3rd bolt would pretty much bring you back to the belayer. That being said, like all of Sun Vista, kind of hard to fall and the mild spiciness was what made it fun. May 23, 2023
