[Hide Comment] Fun, short, a little pumpy. The top is a bit run out with mostly good holds. A bunch of holds through out the climb are a little loose, I wouldn't be surprised if this route just keeps getting harder as they fall. Crux (for me at 5'6") was between the first and second bolt, just one reachy pumpy move. Jul 5, 2017

[Hide Comment] Good for brain activity, otherwise not pleasurable. Need to step a little out of comfort from a nice foot ledge into smaller foot chip to hang the first draw (for shorties). The crux from bolt 1 to bolt 2 has very short well protected falls. Skip any intermediary holds at the crux, unless you have some attraction to bad slopers. Good clipping hold. Then the next couple holds are worth scoffing at as they are not as good as they look. Then smell relief as you move right and off into nicer holds and on easier run-out terrain. Jul 27, 2021

[Hide Comment] I thought this route was just as fun (at least in the lower portion) as 10c's at Nevermind. Oct 13, 2023
