[Hide Comment] I installed a hanger on the stud at the bottom, the stud isn't that great though...

Relatively straight forward route for the first 5 or 6 or so bolts. There is a distinct crux after you reach the bore-hole, it's very difficult to keep your feet from skating off. The is a bolt very nearby as you do the crux, a little below your waist. Mar 15, 2014

[Hide Comment] Real difficult crux. Other commenter is right about feet skating off. The rock is slick and there's not much for feet. I found it harder than a 10B. Short person grade? Feb 25, 2023
[Hide Comment] Great crux up top. Really makes you focus on the foot work. Like Larry said, really well protected if you do fall on it! Mar 24, 2024
