[Hide Comment] This is all right as a warm-up, but the rock quality is not very good, and you basically climb the arête. Oct 9, 2013

[Hide Comment] Agree with Jay. I think you are better off just jumping on Paper Tiger to warm up. Mar 17, 2018
[Hide Comment] Very short, but it has decent rock, and it's a good place to start for those, like me, who would find the routes on the main face to be harsh warm-ups. If that sounds like you, don’t let the comments dissuade you from climbing this. Dec 4, 2022
