[Hide Comment] This will be a great route once it cleans up - similar to love potion. LOTS of lichen on the footholds so tread carefully Dec 5, 2023

[Hide Comment] Definitely sit at the top and enjoy the view once you finish this route. The rock quality is terrible, but the route is pretty neat. Feb 26, 2024

[Hide Comment] I feel 5.8 is fair for this one. Most of the route felt easier than Love Potion and even all of the other 5.8s at the crag, with only the crux feeling a bit more challenging. Pretty fun overall and is cleaning up at the top. Nice view as well! Jun 12, 2024

[Hide Comment] When I bolted this last year I was hoping for a nice long easy 5.8. At the time myself and others thought the second third bolt crux move was harder. So I climbed it again last week along with Boilerplate and Deeznuts. Boilerplate felt the easiest of the three and the crux move going to the anchors of Deeznuts felt like the hardest single move but I’m good with calling them all 5.8. Plus you get three different styles of climbing at the same crag. Thanks Jarek Jun 28, 2024
