[Hide Comment] Great route, good movement. I found I liked to bring my stick clip for the start. Doesn't really let up and I would say there are not any rests. Just enough there to clip and maybe grab chalk. Climbs more like a long boulder problem. Consensus seems to be 5.14a.

[Hide Comment] What was the hold that broke that made it go from 13d to 14a? any ideas? Fun route with about a billion possible ways to go about it. Felt good on it and would love to get back ASAP. any takers this week?

[Hide Comment] You can watch the old Masters of Stone video that shows Chris doing the FA. You can see a couple holds that have changed since then.
And just one added note to everyone - leaving fixed draws up at Pinnacles is not okay, so please clean your routes at the end of the day. Also, it's a great idea to pick up some trash while you're out there and if you source a stick from the bushes to use as a stick clip be sure to put it back and take the tape with you.
