Be advised it's listed by consensus at 5.10b on rrc.com and I'd be inclined to place it more toward grade as well.

Also, beware of the chickenheads, my second stepped on one and it popped right off and nearly hit me (helmets are wonderful). I wouldn't put much faith in them, especially for protection.

I'm surprised people seem to like it so much but perhaps I just was left with as sour taste by the popping chickenheads and it being distinctly harder (at the start of the crack where I was conscious of groundfall) than I was wanting or expecting it to be. May 21, 2017

Hey Daniel, fair assessment of the headiness. I addressed the consensus rating of rrc.com in my description but chose to stick with the grading that was on the wall (which I assume is the assessment of the one who did the FA-but I could be wrong). Too bad to hear about the popping chicken heads...glad you were wearing a helmet-hope you second has been a little more aware of the contraindications of chicken heads. 10b/c was definitely above my level of trad at the time-it could not have been fun to have gone through the hell of putting it up and then have rocks whiz by you as your head while belaying. Hope your Climbing has been sick since that climb (ps: not my favorite climb either, but I struggled through it so it has a place in my heart anyway.) May 19, 2018
