[Hide Comment] More like 11a. A great warm up on the lower wall when you don't feel like standing in line at the upper wall. Jun 9, 2011

[Hide Comment] Agreed (.11a) seems fitting especially if you don't step left before the roof. Great climb, I think this is one of my favorite sport routes on Lemmon the rock is extremely varied. Aug 17, 2011

[Hide Comment] Though I don't tend to grade stuff, I'd agree: If you go straight up at the roof from the bolt, it's 5.11a - That's a huge reach to the next good hold. Jul 22, 2013

  5.10
[Hide Comment] This might be the most beta intensive 5.10 I have ever done. As others have said, if you don't know the beta it can easily get into 5.11 difficulty. If you do know the beta it is well within the 5.10 range and an enjoyable little climb.

BETA ALERT
Do not go right at the bottom - go up the chute, clip the second bolt, then head left keeping underneath the bolt until you get to the good holds and easier terrain. At the top, stay left of the bolt in the roof for a relatively smooth pull. In both spots it is very tempting to go the wrong way. Doing so will make this route a lot harder. Jul 5, 2022
