Relief after getting to the jug rail. Protected the crux with a green #1 DMM hex nut. Photo creds to my lovely boyfriend Jamie.

[Hide Comment] Be sure to print this photo as you'll need it once you get to the rock. Description only will make these routes hard to figure out. Dec 14, 2015

[Hide Comment] Stick to the right getting to the second clip and it's a lot easier. Jan 12, 2017

[Hide Comment] Great line! Climbed several times.
This line starts below the first bolt and is more easily clipped using a solid left hand jam or while using a higher hidden left hold. Definitely harder if you are not using the crack or staying right of the bolted line.
The elevation pic and route line represents a much harder line to follow. Easiest sequence of holds through the fist bolt and crux feel like a traditional 5.7. Most climbers will feel this line to be harder then the rating. Dec 26, 2020

[Hide Comment] Cryptic route for sure. Maybe I didn't find the best beta, but the way I solved the bottom crux definitely required pulling pretty hard on a crimp rail with both hands. My friend found a crimp on the right hand wall of the crack, but I don't think that was much easier than 5.9. The position of the first bolt is also pretty sketchy; it's probably better to use a hex (or other large stopper) in the crack in order to protect the first crux.

After you get to the jug rail it's ~5.5 to the top. Jun 13, 2021

[Hide Comment] Solid left fist jam into the left crack to get to the crimp rail with your right hand and then match. Next, if you are tall, you could stand up and reach the jug rail, or if you are smaller like me, pull and dig hard to deadpoint to reach the jugs. It's maybe 5.8 if you are tall. For me at 5'6, it felt much harder than the rating. May 22, 2023
