[Hide Comment] When climbing it appeared some holds had recently broken off. I also stood on one of the better hands before the dihedral and it exploded, route is probably 10d or 11a now. Aug 27, 2019

[Hide Comment] tricky finish stemming to the top, gets a little blank and dirty if you stay under the bolt line. Apr 5, 2021

[Hide Comment] Counted 9 bolts to chains (no lower-offs) with an optional fixed piton between the second and third bolt to protect the roof before the dihedral. Crux seemed to be getting established from the right side of the dihedral into stemming. Aug 2, 2022
