Choosing the path less trav…
 
[Hide Comment] This route was hard, much harder than demon in my Semen next to it. I would not recommend this to newer leaders, only confident ones. If you get stuck on this, you can always escape to the left and get off route: Feb 17, 2020

[Hide Comment] I agree with Nick on this one. It is not a good route for budding 5.8 leaders. It's probably more like 5.9, and that is only if you figure out the path to keep it at that grade (there are a couple places to go wrong on route finding). The first bolt is a tad high on climbing that is not that hard but is not a gimme. The cruxes are not near the bolts. It is very tempting to bail to the grungy gully left, but that results in making the 3rd bolt hard to clip. Oct 24, 2020
