[Hide Comment] The most mono-intensive of the 12- routes I tried at the Fins. Great climbing, but I wouldn't recommend this for anyone trying to break into the grade, unless they were very confident of their finger health. Sep 11, 2016
[Hide Comment] Best 12a at the crag in my opinion! Jun 12, 2018

[Hide Comment] Great quality rock, excellent climb, fairly sustained with saving resting pockets just before the crux. Fun movements with a deep, deep mono pocket. Super fun! Not heady at all, as it’s well-protected (along with everything else here). Jul 15, 2018

[Hide Comment] Fun stuff! Felt on par with the other 5.12a's that we did. Maybe a slightly harder crux, but the shorter overall nature of the climb and the (BETA ALERT): great rest before the crux evens out the difficulty. Definitely some small pockets but the great feet keep you from really cranking on them. Oct 11, 2020
