[Hide Comment] ... wtf? I just got completely thrashed by this. I lowered down to scrub off the cobwebs, brush the holds and install draws and then got thrashed. Felt hard, cryptic, and thin for the grade. Aug 28, 2016

[Hide Comment] All bolts and anchor replaced with stainless courtesy of a grant from WARP, washingtonanchors.org/, please consider making a donation as each dollar goes toward hardware purchase. All work and tools are on a volunteer basis.

You can pre hang draws climbing jug or note or reptiles to the furthest right anchor (at a stance directly below long perma draws of oval orifice) . Feb 24, 2020

[Hide Comment] Thanks for the new bolts Nick! Inspired me to come back for revenge. I think 12b is fine, though the climbing is quite cryptic at first. A short bulletproof sequence makes the low angle choss topout worth it... once. May 24, 2020

[Hide Comment] I was going to come back with "a birdie told me" comment on here about the grade :) Glad it feels like a true 12b when you're not over a tiny bent up SMC hanger for the first bolt now! Jul 9, 2020

[Hide Comment] Tried this for the first time last weekend. I think "worth it... once" is the appropriate description for the climb, haha. I'll try to redpoint this thing but the loose blocks up top are pretty scary imo! Definitely cryptic but easier than hang it out to dry if I remember that boulder problem correctly. Pretty cool holds on the crux of this thing! It's unfortunate that the hard climbing is so short-lived, otherwise it could be pretty good!

Thanks for replacing the hardware, Nick. I never would have tried this thing in its prior state. Dec 17, 2020

[Hide Comment] Another vote for this being a worthwhile, oft-overlooked climb! Feels *very* hard for the grade at first, but yields quickly once you start to distinguish the actual holds from all the miserable sucker holds that look chalked but are just colored that way naturally. 12b is probably fair, though I did think the crux section (first 3 bolts) was both harder and considerably longer than, for example, the crux section on Hang it Out to Dry or Bust the Rhythm.

Also, thanks for the new bolts! They look great and inspire a lot of confidence on what can feel like a committing lead with cruxes so near the ground. May 31, 2021

[Hide Comment] +1 for the route being great, just wish it was longer. People get spooked by slippery feet and sucker holds, so their ego tells them to not feel bad cause it must obviously be a bad route :P

I think with beta it's easier than other 12b-s on the wall, although it might be a bit reachy before the 2nd bolt. Sep 12, 2023
