[Hide Comment] I don't think this is the same as the previously listed route, unknown 5.9+/5.10. Definitely solid 5.10. May 4, 2014

[Hide Comment] Your description jives with the route I had with the other generic name - definitely the technical star of this cliff! I'll merge my things into this page. May 23, 2014

[Hide Comment] Solid 5.10, really fun climbing on a bit of a poorly crafted bolt job that avoids the natural line but does take you to some sustained slab climbing that is well worth it. You can TR between this and the next route to the right at 5.10 something too on really fun small holds. Great slab training. May 12, 2018

[Hide Comment] Be careful after the 4th bolt (at the ledge). My partner fell while clipping the 5th bolt, hit the ledge and broke his ankle. May 28, 2018
