[Hide Comment] Closer to 5.10a than 5.8 in its current polished state (ie at least 5.9+). Careful to second bolt on polished stone. Mussies added courtesy of ASCA. Jun 18, 2019

[Hide Comment] I agree with HB, in that this is seems pretty hard and to me was more of a 10 than an 8. Interesting moves and for me a bit reachy. Jul 8, 2019

[Hide Comment] Adding another vote to team 5.10. This was slick and tougher than any 5.9 at Bowman/ Emeralds in my opinion. Jul 20, 2019

[Hide Comment] Hey guys!

Thanks for the feedback. Apparently the water has polished this climb up a ton since the FA. I'll change the grade to .10a for now. Jul 20, 2019

[Hide Comment] At first glance it does appear harder than 5.8, with the obvious line going up just left of the bolts, and we made a number of false starts over there. However, there are a series of very positive holds and nice feet to the right of the bolt line, bordering on the black streak. My partner and I agreed that even though these were a little wet, the climbing was right about in line with the other 5.8s. It also is very very fun, and clipping from this line is trivial. Excellent! May 18, 2020

[Hide Comment] Climbed today, good anchors. Everything enjoyable and safe Jul 29, 2023
