[Hide Comment] This one isn't quite as tricky as the one to its right, but the first half is super interesting! Lots of hand-foot matches and weird angled moves to work through. And again, these have been climbed more than enough at this point for moss not to be an issue anymore! Also if you aren't like 6'5" a stick clip may be good for this one too, that first bolt would be quite a tumble to take if you slipped. This one is actually my dad's favorite on the whole wall, so check it out if you're here! Mar 29, 2022

[Hide Comment] Despite appearances, all of the neccessary holds on this route and the one to the right are moss-free, and both climb beautifully, with lots of intricate movement! I was able to clip the bolt from the top of the pillar at 5'8", but any shorter and a stick clip would be advisable. Dec 1, 2022

[Hide Comment] Agree with MPG regarding moss, however, those rare times you grab a hold and smear up are gonna be hard due to moss Jul 25, 2023
