5 out of 5 stars Solid

Pretty straightforward and fun. Things are a little easier at the crux if you are taller

4 out of 5 stars Fun

The route has a great shape to it, with a couple of very cool features. Fun but strenuous move at the crux.

Led it after Eclipse, clipping at the top was a little tenuous.

4 out of 5 stars Grab Your Brains

This one was a blast. it required me to change my style up a few times and i had to put a thinking cap on for the crux.

4 out of 5 stars another good one

a nice easy climb. the beginning is cool with the finger pocket and big move to the jug. the crux was definitely at the top before the shuts. i got a decent 2 finger pocket/sloper thing with a high right foot and just cranked up.

3 out of 5 stars 8 of 13 this day

Starting directly under the first bolt is pretty tricky, being tall helps. Stayed directly on bolt line and never really found the committing crux though? Not sure if after finger hole you were not supposed to use large feature up and right? Anyway, while bottom had one hard move, never felt more than 5.8 to me. I've done this before and just wasn't sure how to keep to top at 5.9?
