[Hide Comment] If this is the route I'm thinking of I'd say you're selling it short. It's sustained and interesting climbing on great rock to a big rest, followed by super steep and juggy climbing to the anchors. By far, in my opinion, the best route at Ophir and would be popular at any climbing area I can think of. Sep 10, 2012

[Hide Comment] Awesome route. Would agree it’s one of the better climbs in Ophir for the movement and length. There are big pieces of loose rock above the overhang to the right of the route. None of the actual holds are suspect, just wear a helmet and keep an eye out. Thank you to the person/people who set the fixed draws. The link on the first draw into the overhang should probably be replaced (Hoping to bring one the next time I go). Feb 20, 2022
