[Hide Comment] The description above makes this route sound a bit complicated, but I believe it is the easiest on the wall. Having said that, this wall is SO featured I climb it every time I come to NJC just to practice all the different maneuvers I can do on such a featured rock. Don't dismiss Caprica! Oct 28, 2019
