[Hide Comment] What a great 10c! It felt kinda stiff for the grade but was awesome from the 1st bolt to the anchors. Probably is no harder than 10c, just very sustained. Great line. Jun 10, 2014

[Hide Comment] Unlike the nearby routes, this route only has rap bolts at the top, so bring your ATC to get down. Jun 14, 2015

[Hide Comment] Best route on the wall! This is a great wall to spend a day on and snag a bunch of pitches. Jun 18, 2020

[Hide Comment] Starts hard, but gets progressively easier once you're past the low crux (bolts 3-5). Still sustained, but it eases gradually from 10c climbing, to 10- to 9 by the top. Great route! Probably the best on the wall, but I thought The Angel's Share was harder. Sep 17, 2020
