Fun thuggish route
Didn't require too much technical movement just some strong pulling on good holds. Great jams throughout the climb prevented me from pumping out. First 11a on-sight. Could be soft if you can jam the cracks, but I believe it's spot on for the grade.

Very good route.
The guide book gives it 5.11a, probably for the pump factor. I did this after working Schneezle, 5.12a, to get somebody's draws off the route as the sun was sinking behind the trees. It seemed very familiar. I think I may have been on it years ago before the Meadow was developed, so I'll call it a red-point.

The guidebook says
11a, but this is pretty soft. I guess it is more a matter of the sustained angle, but the moves were more like 10+. Well bolted and very safe. excellent route.
