[Hide Comment] There are several microwave blocks on this thing that sound rather disconcerting. Beware of these while placing gear, and definitely don't let people linger beneath you while you're climbing. Overall a fun route, but just beware those hollow blocks. Aug 2, 2015

[Hide Comment] Cam and stopper placements every 5 feet. Crux is 5 feet off the ground. Big holds. sport/ trad route. Good beginner trad. Fun and not too hot in the summer. Aug 27, 2017

[Hide Comment] I believe the Granite Guide calls this route Jenga. I don't know which name came first, but thought I'd throw it out there Apr 30, 2019

[Hide Comment] Just an FYI: the Calderone guide to furgy calls this Heaven Sent and says it goes at 5.8. I think he may be the first ascensionist as well. He usually stamps his bolts, so it should be easy to verify. I think 5.7 is fair. Jun 16, 2021
