[Hide Comment] Super fun movement! Move up to the side pull and shake out before the movement on the rail/roof thing! Keep your heals high and in the rail and just keep moving until u reach the jug and clip then pull up and finish! Fun! Jan 1, 2012

[Hide Comment] Atypical Falls route. Not to be missed! Feels like climbing in a gym with all the jugs and big movement. Nov 15, 2013

[Hide Comment] youtu.be/z3EAFeDvRHk I can't say enough about this route. It's really fun and almost like climbing in the gym. Definitely a classic, but be aware that it can get really busy and you may find yourself waiting in line to jump on it. Also unfortunately it is not perm-drawed so I have seen people do some crazy stuff to try and clean it. The best (and maybe only way) is to back clean it. Dec 4, 2020

[Hide Comment] Climbed the route on 4-3-2021 while I was back cleaning the route, I noticed that the third bolt (if I remember correctly) was spinning. Beware that if this bolt blows it may result in a ground fall if the system has slack or if you severely outweigh your catch. Apr 5, 2021

[Hide Comment] third bolt was still loose when we climbed last weekend 7/8/23. Stay safe out there! Jul 15, 2023
