Description:

The left-most route on the main face starts by climbing up a wedged log to the first bolt. Good edges throughout with a nice variety of moves. A recommended route of the area for the grade.

4 out of 5 stars Log

Weird to start on a log. At least it has foot holds.
Fun climb. A few pumpy parts.

4 out of 5 stars 3rd bolt

Getting to and around the 3rd bolt is the crux. I worked my way up to the left of the 3rd bolt following the crack and wedging my left hip on the upward sloping shelf. Saw people top rope it by going way right and way left which could be easier but may not be on route. Upper face past the crux is slightly overhung but the holds are all there.

4 out of 5 stars Fun

Fun route, likely 5.10a vs reported 5.9. Definitely harder than anything on Gold Wall.

3 out of 5 stars Good climb

I was initially told this was a 5.8, but 5.10a seems much more appropriate. Some parts make it difficult to know whether to go right, left, or straight, but overall a good climb.
