[Hide Comment] this route has a death block about the size of my chest, which really isnt that big. it's on the very last lieback section of the second pitch well after the bolt. The section allows the climber to easily use the widecrack on the left wall as a chimney aid making the section go at like 5.5, however there is a loose ass block right at the top and its ready to get pulled... definitely a chance of hitting the belayer and big enough to smash brains and shatter bones and crush dreams. I should have drawn a big white X, but i didnt because i was smoked out. I hand palm smashed it back into place, but i wouldn't recommend yarding on it. Great little route though. Two thumbs up.

[Hide Comment] Nice corner, too much loose sand/gravel in the middle third of the climb though. May 3, 2021
