Might be a bit off route, we top roped so we could play on the roof.

[Hide Comment] Fun route to do if in the area. Will clean up over time and could even get a bonus .25 star once it does! Crystal powers throughout! Flake at the very start is a little suspect but is easy to avoid to the left.

Edit: Sorted out better beta that included not climbing with a drill and putting on climbing shoes with socks. Maybe more challenging for our short comrades. Apr 19, 2016

[Hide Comment] Getting over the starting roof is the fun crux of this climb. After that, it eases up to some laid back climbing to the anchors. Feb 26, 2017

[Hide Comment] as of 3-31-2019 very suspicious flake/choss pile just past the roof on the climber's right that is just waiting to get pulled off and hit ur belayer in the head. I think just looking at it made it move a little. Maybe someone could rap off the top and kick it off as a public service? Apr 1, 2019

[Hide Comment] The NAZCC (Northern Arizona Climbers Coalition) added Climb Tech mussy hooks to the anchors. In collaboration with the ASCA (American Safe Climbing Association) and the Access Fund, the NAZCC will continue further anchor improvements and re-bolting efforts throughout the region. If you'd like to support the cause, you can donate at nazcc.org. Jan 16, 2020
