[Hide Comment] A fantastic addition to this route would be an intermediate anchor just below the roof, resulting in an excellent moderate route with an optional 5.12 extension. Jul 21, 2019

[Hide Comment] We found this route by accident and thought it looked cool so we got on it. Super fun and asthetic climb, definitely worth doing especially if you like liebacking. Very well bolted, and you can get a couple good rests before tackling the tough moves over the bulge and to the chains. Would recommend! Oct 18, 2020

[Hide Comment] Fun 12a layback crack climbing to a good ledge rest. Then easier climbing up to the rest and final V5 boulder problem, maybe this can be dumbed down with a kneebar or intricate beta. All this adds up to a pretty stiff 12a. Sep 22, 2022

[Hide Comment] Pulled off a 30 poundish block today that appeared to be a key hold for the crux with lots of chalk on it. My belayer was able to move out of the way, and I was able to push it away and to the side of the wall, so no injuries. I am not sure if it harder now, as I was a bit rattled and just lowered and cleaned the route. Scary stuff. Sep 13, 2024

[Hide Comment] I am confirming that a key hold broke. It was the jug in the roof that you got from the large undercling. It does still go, but the move is now much harder than the crux above it. I'd say a 12b/c now.

Broken hold spot beta below:

(I'm 5'6) from the undercling, reach your right hand up and slightly left to a horizontal sloper shelf. Move your left hand up and left to a small, crappy dimpled hold. Mostly campus/pull up up and left to a left hand sidepull. Your feet smear out left, and bump your right hand into the layback block. Then climb into the original crux of the route. 5 days ago
