[Hide Comment] PG13 because many of the bolts are spinners and the first one is a little exposed. Apr 23, 2016

[Hide Comment] Fun arete one very uncut edges. One complaint is the bolt placement - the first 2 are at awkward heights, and all are reachy too far to the left. Wonky getting to first bolt. Just below the second bolt there are small slopey holds with tiny crimper ridges, but just higher there’s another large uncut hold. My climbing partners thought it was wonky at the end too with small crimpers. Looked up and saw big jugs and went for them. Lots of chalk everywhere. Mar 12, 2019
