[Hide Comment] I pulled 3 dinner plate size loose rocks off this route today. Good route, but there is still more that needs cleaned. Make sure your belayer is watching out! The crux is at the top and the rock is pretty solid up there, the first 3-4 bolts is 5.8 or so but could get a little tougher if all the rock that sounds hollow ends up coming off. I will be heading back up there soon and clean this up more! Updates to come. Mar 19, 2019

[Hide Comment] Fun route. A bit sandy at the bottom, but rock quality improves towards the top. If you plan to toprope or lower off this route, bring plenty of webbing or cord or you will finding your rope rubbing quite a bit. Oct 6, 2020
