[Hide Comment] Ummmm. Did something break off the bulge? This thing has be puzzled. Oct 11, 2012
[Hide Comment] S. Fischer - I felt the SAME way. If you look under the bulge it looks like a sizable flake came off.

What I ended up doing was going left to the crack and catching a decent left and right handhold whilst smearing with a left backstep. Worked great. Oct 15, 2012

[Hide Comment] Tough move at the crux. Fun climb although our group thought Thru space and time was easier Jul 8, 2014

[Hide Comment] Good climb, it's all there. One move with some power required after clipping the bolt on the bulge, smear with a high foot, pull off the right hand feature straight up and grab something good up a little higher. Oct 6, 2014

[Hide Comment] 5.9 climb with a much harder crux... Dec 6, 2015
[Hide Comment] This is on the right hand side of the large overhang, don’t mix these up with the two sport routes that are not on mp yet. This climb is not as bad as most say. Good route, nothing has broken off, just small holds. Nov 16, 2017
[Hide Comment] NOT SAFE: Anchor bolt hanger spins. First reported on badbolts in March 2019 but never fixed and still spinning this past weekend. There's a note on the ledge next to the start from some kind strangers from Labor Day weekend, but posting it here just in case the rain blew it away. Sep 30, 2020

[Hide Comment] I went way to the left under the bulge. Tricky route and very hard crux Sep 29, 2022
