[Hide Comment] Seemed to me there's one move close to 5.8 in this short climb, and 5.6 climbers should expect to be unhappy if they expect to succeed on it. A follower belayed off the top anchor might fall from that move sideways left around the corner. May 28, 2012

[Hide Comment] If Orange Sunshine is the standard for 5.8 here then this is nowhere close to that. I'd say this is like 5.3. Huge jugs, huge feet. Only a couple semi-technical movements. Apr 21, 2019

[Hide Comment] Very easy jug haul, but fun enough (for birdsboro). I dont get that this is graded harder than the one to the right, which is harder and less fun. Jul 13, 2021
