4 out of 5 stars Lots of fun

Tough to look at this line without wanting to climb it. Fun moves, technical arete with hidden holds around the side and some big moves at the bottom = pretty awesome climb.

3 out of 5 stars Bolts in a line, moves all over

Cool route. Challenging, but cool. Flip the hand for the first reachy move.

4 out of 5 stars Moves that make you think.

I think the grade and crux location are somewhat height-dependent. The scariest thing was clipping the 3rd or 4th (?) bolt b/c I could not reach if while holding the arete.
