[Hide Comment] Crosses over an awesome little fossil bed- there's a bigger ledge safe enough to take after clipping the last bolt before the anchors so you can take a gander at all these amazing little sea creatures left behind from millions of years ago that we're now climbing on and over!

[Hide Comment] Fun climb though the crux comes low on the route and after that, it's pretty mellow to the anchors. Mar 18, 2023

[Hide Comment] For sure much smoother rock than the other routes. It was a great finish after tearing up our hands on the other routes. Mar 21, 2023

[Hide Comment] I'm a 5'4" with a -1 ape index, and larger boobs and I found this to be much harder than a 5.8. I could not reach the jug on the crux (we tried for about 15 minutes) and thus had to do a power move that I would say was 10b. My boob size is relevant because it made it not really possible to do the balancy technical moves the description is describing. Just wanted other women and short folks to know I found this to be the most difficult route on the north part of the wall. Nov 28, 2024
