Description

The steep line up the center of the face. A true power endurance route as most of the holds are larger than those usually found on a route of this grade. The rating may be a little soft.

Location

Center route on the face. Just right of the roof/overlap at mid-height.

Protection

8 bolts & 2 open shuts.

I see nothing wrong with extending that perma draw. A send is valid with or without the addition of a sling. The rock should be the crux, not the hardware. Nov 5, 2020

Maybe too zoomed out for beta, but I tried! youtu.be/PbSNuVyd1Ho Mar 28, 2023

The big block about a third of the way up that served as the last rest and the good foot for the crux sequence ripped out on me yesterday. The block was tenuous, but it seemed to have a little more life in it. Belayer and I are lucky to have our heads. The crux still goes, felt just slightly harder as you are on smaller feet. However, the rest position there is much worse. Even more of an endurance piece now. May 6, 2024

I think I got the first send after the block broke. In my opinion it doesn't warrant an upgrade, but it is slightly harder. Personally, I thought it had better flow without the rest in the middle. Curious to hear what others think. Jun 18, 2024

I agree with Matt's comments above. The loss of the rest at the fourth bolt makes things more sustained, but 5.13b still seems right on the money. Jan 12, 2025
