[Hide Comment] Perhaps more like .10a or .10b. These climbs tend to get easier as they clean up. What do you rate it? Oct 1, 2018

[Hide Comment] Super fun movement on this traversey climb. I wish I had extended a bunch of draws because the rope drag got a little silly. Bolts provide plenty of protection. There's only one pseudo runout to a difficult-to-see bolt around maybe the 6th clip. Aug 6, 2019

[Hide Comment] Better than most climbs in LCC. Wow as good as climbing gets. So much fun fun fun. Edges, "iron curtain" feature, roofs unlocked by high stepping. Jul 19, 2022
