Not a great shot of the route, other than to show the pretty severe overhang of the route, as seen from the chains.

[Hide Comment] A hold broke off in my hand after clipping the 4th bolt. Still chossy. Dec 8, 2019

[Hide Comment] Goes at .10d, according to the 2019 version of the book. Although very short (4 bolts), I'd have to agree- especially given the poor rock quality. Wish it were longer! Jan 6, 2020

[Hide Comment] Anchor bolt wiggles (right bolt). Can still set TR from Updrafts to Heavan and redirect at anchor and most every bolt. Seems everyone already broke the good holds! I didnt break any but found it to be a tough route! Feb 17, 2020

[Hide Comment] Still a bit chossy, plenty of holds still left for you to take home as a souvenir. Fun climb overall. May 31, 2020

[Hide Comment] Night climbed this with my buddy a few years ago and seem to remember one of us getting clipped with broken handholds while belaying. S'chossy. Feb 9, 2022

[Hide Comment] Climbed yesterday. Third bolt was spinning as well as right anchor. Climb doesn’t feel as chossy as people say but could definitely see the potential of kicking off feet. Could probably use some attention in the bolts but decently fun route for what it is. Feb 26, 2024
