[Hide Comment] This was a fun climb. Getting off the ground is tricky, but once you're up, the holds are there, though you may have to search for some. The rock is different from The Red, it took me a while to get comfortable with my feet but they didn't cut on me. The routes on this crag are short, I'd guess around 30 feet in average, but the climbing is still enjoyable.

This route can be made much easier by using the crack to the left. Jun 10, 2017

[Hide Comment] Additional Info:
The first bolt is pretty high up, with slanted ground and tree roots directly underneath. A stick clip is a great idea.

I started the climb by using the S crack to the left; then crossed over for the first and second bolt, then went a bit to the right near the top. It made it easier than 5.10b for sure.

In the photos, it is the orange and blue route. Jan 5, 2019
