[Hide Comment] This is a somewhat steep yet easy route with lots of blocks, jugs, rails, pockets, and opportunities for interesting body positions. The two large ledges that break up the route do not actually impede the flow of climbing. Overall this is quite enjoyable and seems to be as good as any routes in this cluster. Sep 4, 2023
