[Hide Comment] I only top-roped this route, but wow what a stiff 10c. I think the tree start is a little contrived, and certainly will become harder once that tree's limb breaks off (looks in bad shape). Pro is good after the first bolt as you move into the tricky blank section. Aug 19, 2019

[Hide Comment] The tree is now gone so you have to climb the overlap. Gear is okay but the beginning moves are a lot more powerful Jul 22, 2023
