[Hide Comment] Done this a bunch, but never commented on it, so......Nice climb. Nice variety of moves. Often a bit wet though. IMHO, 5.10a if you use the crack on the left at the start (but it's a long reach to clip bolt 1 that way) and 5.10b if you start directly under the first bolt. Nov 28, 2021

[Hide Comment] A 5.8-5.9ish route with a contrived 5.10 variation. Sure, you can make it a 5.10 by staying left on the arete, but staying right on the bolt line makes this 5.8.

Climb whatever way makes you happy, but the optimal beta while staying on the bolted line is no harder than 8 or 9 in my opinion Nov 7, 2023
