[Hide Comment] It's something good to do while waiting to get on Toxic Shock, I wouldn't say it's a good first trad lead unless you know your hand-fist jams well though. GNS is much better suited to a new leader IMO, it's much easier to fiddle around with gear with all the no hands rests on a slab. Aug 24, 2015

[Hide Comment] Really fun easier crack climb. But I would agree that it's maybe not the best choice for a first trad lead, unless you have decent crack climbing technique already. May 19, 2016

[Hide Comment] Really fun route. Even though it is pretty short and sweet I think it is absolutely worth getting on. Would be a 5.7 at any crag. I agree that it is more fun than Klahanie crack. If your more of a moderate trad climber like me, this route and Toxic Shock, which is right on the other side of the trail, would be great to run laps on for part of the day when its not busy.

[Hide Comment] Great crack. If you leave off the face movements mid-way up, it is significantly harder. If you are new to crack climbing and brand new to trad, this is likely not a great first lead. The gear placement is super solid though and you can plug a couple #3's / #4's. GNS is easier climbing for sure. You could top rope by climbing the 5.6 to the right and belaying over to setup on the anchor. Jul 27, 2018

Raffa Sindoni San Francisco, CA   5.7

[Hide Comment] Try not to use the holds on the face - great route to practice handjamming and vertical crack-climbing for newer trad climbers. Get on it! Jul 2, 2021

[Hide Comment] A very large tree fell right in front of this route, making the belay stance tricky. Would take a good group of people to remove all the debris; it's at least 2' in diameter. Apr 28, 2023

[Hide Comment] I cleared brush/tree debris from the base of the route. Good to go. Jun 22, 2023

[Hide Comment] I've never lead on wider cracks before, and boy this was a struggle bus. Only had one #3, and ended up having to bump that thing a few times. Chose to escape 3/4 up to the adjacent crack system to the right, to avoid the upper wide crack section. Seems like you need a #5 to protect it. Sep 22, 2024
