4 out of 5 stars Gnarly start

The only 5.11 portion of this climb is the start. Good handholds in the crack for overcoming the roof, and a single bolt for the nastiness. Bring trad gear, as there are no bolts above the first one. Although you could practically free solo the rests of the climb because it is basically a ladder. Also, look out for the hornets.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet start move

Little bit of a roof, but only for your feet. Once you get past the first bit it's all beans. Don't fall off the ledge when you're tying in.
