[Hide Comment] A fun route, but not a great top-rope route because of how much it wanders.

The crux is moving up the crack/flake after the leftward ledge traverse. Reportedly this can be avoided by following the ledge around to the right instead (5.7) and using medium nuts on your way to the top

The face above the upper ledge has some great 5.11-ish moves that can be top-roped after cleaning the draws, but the bolting on that face makes it look like a dangerous lead. Sep 16, 2018

[Hide Comment] If you cannot find the route it is because the bolts have been pulled. The first ascensionists added bolts to the historic Conn Route. Jul 27, 2022
