[Hide Comment] This route is awesome, and my opinion deserves just as much love as Pit Lizard, if not more. Great route! Jul 23, 2010

[Hide Comment] I didn't do this one before the hold broke, but it didn't feel like the grade increased to me. No stopper moves, just continuously steep with incredibly consistent edges. You can milk a good rest just above the slight bulge halfway up. Better than pit lizard in my opinion! Oct 9, 2011

[Hide Comment] Excellent route on really solid rock for the creek. Probably the lease chossy route at the pit besides some of the really hard stuff. Crux is the last bolt to the anchors but there is a great jug to clip off after some thin technical climbing. May 31, 2020
