[Hide Comment] I've tried this route a few times, and each time i've been shut down at the crux. Does anyone have any beta on the crux? Thanks! Jan 30, 2017

[Hide Comment] Beta - Spoilers: When you get to the corner, get feet under you, lean right onto the high crimp. Left hand on high sloper, match with right hand, get better right foot on a small edge about waist high and move your right hand to an intermediate crimp. Bump to side pull and you should be able to clip. There are two nice jugs above the sidepull as well. Goodluck! Jun 11, 2019

[Hide Comment] The upper section of this after the crux could really use another bolt. It's easy terrain, but it still doesn't feel that safe to me. Mar 15, 2021
