5.8

Interesting change of pace from other Pond climbs, given the lack of juggy pockets and slick feeling rock. I didn't think to stem the other wall..probably would of made it feel easier. Mar 31, 2014

Pretty solid 5.8. It feels a bit harder at times if you can't find the holds. Really close bolts and new-looking anchors at the top. Great spot to set up a toprope, but throw a couple draws up there to save the anchors. Dec 21, 2015
