[Hide Comment] Very hard for shorter people, definitely a height-dependent rating. Tall people don't even have to deal with holding the swing, as they can keep the heel/toe cam until on the good hold, shorter folks will have issues from the very first move which is a desperate/long chuck to the first sloper.

[Hide Comment] Short, powerful, and definitely way harder (if not impossible) for the shorties. Oct 21, 2019

[Hide Comment] Easily one of the best boulders I've ever climbed. Throwing at full reach to the slopey is so fun! The rock isn't greasy at all either, which just makes it more special for the area. May 2, 2024
