[Hide Comment] One of the bolts moves up and down in the hole a bit, could use some love from someone more competent than I... Nov 17, 2018

[Hide Comment] Great climb! Lots of different size cracks to use and there are good ledges to rest on. I found that a 0.3 was helpful to protect the last mantle move. You can slot it nicely in the roof. May 3, 2022

[Hide Comment] I may have been on the wrong route, but I started climbing this and ended up bailing off of a bolt on the climb to the left of this when I determined that there were no anchors on top. Nov 29, 2022
