[Hide Comment] It shares the chains with Tunnel of love, so can be top roped after climbing the ToL (5.8) Sep 24, 2014

[Hide Comment] The crux of this climb is at the bottom on some cool sharp crimps. Then, you get a standing rest and some easy, textured slab to the anchors. You probably don't want to lower off the anchors on this one. Great views from the top! Jun 1, 2015

[Hide Comment] I thought it was a decent climb, varied and fairly consistent. The middle section with the roof/no hands rest was weird if you entered it too far left. The first move or two were the crux with small feet but you find jugs pretty soon. Mantle was exciting too, and it's not over once you hit the slab.
Ironic it has loweroffs when you really should only rap on these two routes for the sake of your rope. May 15, 2021

[Hide Comment] Typical face climbing pretty consistent for the grade. It's a little harder than you'd like given the dirt and questionable nature of some of the holds. Trying to pull through the tunnel above, I almost got stuck wedged against the wall. Sep 5, 2022
