[Hide Comment] Really solid climb for a beginning leader. Bring a #3 to a protect a move higher up, it goes in a hole that looks like something used to live in.

[Hide Comment] 90 ft from base to P1 bolted rap anchor where Ninja Turtle P1 also ends
10/10/2023 edit to make clear: rap from that P1 anchor down to the base is 90 ft. 120 ft in the Description prossibly a loose estimate of the distance to summit.

[Hide Comment] Climbed this route for the first time this weekend. I found it enjoyable and that it protected well. Also, a great route for some needed shade on a hot day. After getting through the obvious first crack and onto the ledge it took me a minute to realize I needed to trend all the way to the left to get to the short wall with the x-shaped crack running up it and not the lighter colored ramp/big flake. Once on top of the x crack, head straight up the face on good holds toward the 2 bolt anchor with chains and rings. We did a 2 rope rappel since the length looked long and the listed length vs what's in the comments differed too much for comfort, so no idea if a 60m would get you to the ground alone, probably not worth finding out I guess.

[Hide Comment] As a beginning TRAD climber, I found this route to be almost perfect. The route takes gear easily, and affords good holds during placement. Not to mention what others have said, "...a great route for some needed shade on a hot day".
