[Hide Comment] A good route! Easy to escape the overhanging dihedral by heading left of the bolt line onto a plethora of jugs. The copious amount of chalk on these holds seems to suggest this is the established way through this section. May 3, 2020

[Hide Comment] This was a great route with two long cruxes separated by a pretty decent break in the middle. The first half is thin and delicate 11+ climbing on its own, and the top section is harder and awkward no matter how you do it. Not just two boulder problems, each section is sequential and long. Figured out the top by slapping left for ok sidepulls and entering the dihedral later when I didn’t have to kick out so far for a decent right foot. Jun 23, 2022
