[Hide Comment] Definitely, hard start. If you want an easier variation, clip the first bolt normally then come down and go up a couple feet to the left. That variation probably makes the route a 10a/b. Feb 27, 2017

[Hide Comment] If you are short this will go at 5.11, taller people might fair better on this one. Fun and worth a go! Feb 27, 2018

[Hide Comment] 11a is appropriate for the bouldery start. Crux difficulty is comparable to crux on Dark Matter. Mar 14, 2021

[Hide Comment] Boulderly move and high sensitive in the first few moves. J Crew and friend lead it and offer me to top rope. I am 5.5 and don’t want to thrashing around at end of the day. Jan 1, 2025
