[Hide Comment] Good movement. Steep up top.
At or about bolt #6 rock quality deteriorates.
Smart to stick with the ticks until it gets more clean-up

[Hide Comment] Great route! It has cleaned up nicely as of spring 2021. The technical crux comes early on around bolt three. When you get to a good stance before the first overhang, shake out thoroughly. The climbing for the rest of the route is 5.10 or easier, but sustained and pumpy. May 17, 2021
