[Hide Comment] Bring on the balancey moves! Slabby friction rock feels great and thought-provoking. The crux is great: test your center of gravity. Mar 25, 2019

[Hide Comment] Pretty fun route, there’s holds if you look for them. Fun to top out and look at the valley! Pretty view up on the hill to the left too Apr 12, 2021

[Hide Comment] Good route on good rock.... Crux was balancey and decently above a bolt, so warning all you new 5.9 leaders. May 15, 2021

[Hide Comment] The crux is around the second bolt... if you are a newer 5.9 lead climber, this will be scary. Oct 12, 2024
