[Hide Comment] To exist is the resist (7A) is the one of the hardest route to onsight. It's short enough to have fun many attempts in a day. Dec 22, 2015

[Hide Comment] Don't be intimidated by the angle. Jugs everywhere! Do it. Super safe fall. Nov 1, 2016

[Hide Comment] Juggy, slightly overhanging crack feature that gets slightly more difficult as you climb higher. Get a good rest and fire a V3ish boulder problem to reach the anchors. I managed to onsight but I had to give it a little umph at the crux. I'd say this is a good entry level 7a route. Nov 10, 2017

[Hide Comment] This route has a second pitch but has yet to see a free ascent despite visits from many hard men. Nov 27, 2019
