Description

Good climb, well bolted. Good rest spots. Because you could potentially deck from the second bolt, this might not be great for a new leader.

Using different lines and the same three bolts, variations can include from 5.6 to 5.11 moves.

Location

Zorro Face, between Zorro and Face O Meter.

Easy peasy. Good for a new leader. Jugs galore. Aug 27, 2011

If you climb the choss in the corner, it's much easier than 5.8. May 29, 2012

Not a very obvious line. Could be anything from 5.7 to 5.10, depending on what you consider "off". Nov 23, 2012

Fun climb, I think the variation I did was actually a 5.6 or 5.7, and that the 5.8+ goes through the face. Variations are possible, lots of good holds. Nov 6, 2013

1. Not a good route for a new leader. Clip 2 has serious groundfall if you miss it.

2. This route is super contrived.

3. It is also fun Sep 30, 2018
