[Hide Comment] A lovely 5.6-5.7 (although we didn't do the headwall section) interspaced with a 5.9 (or harder?) crux move, which can be avoided by a step or two to the right. Aug 16, 2015

[Hide Comment] Nice it's great to get some feedback on these routes. I find it hard to grade slab routes. There is always an easier way! Mar 8, 2016
