meh
wasn't very impressed with the route. first pitch was sort of enjoyable although super easy, second was just sort of difficult but not very provocative, third was alright, fourth was ridiculous (granted i did link 4 and 5 on account of not realizing it was actually supposed to be split, which resulted in bad rope drag and a frustrating flake to get the rope out of). i wouldn't recommend it, just for the fact that its a bit of a trek out there for mediocre climbing t best. but if you must; i found the gear to be sort of finicky on p2, seemed like nuts would have worked well, so bring some.

a must do ,
really like to hike in light, top out and exit at the Key slot rap and key slot hike return to TH. Upped my Trad ability on this one, but the only crux is 15 ft of layback getting into start of vertical crack. top anchor P2 is 3bolts ,1new. As always here, be able to climb the grade so as to enjoy the R of P4,but the traverse finish just relaxes you, enjoy the view.

Great northeast facing route.
Good rock and heady climbing on pitch 4. Lead pitch 2 clean.

stroke it gently, az
Fun route. Pitch two was the best. The rest of the route was not as good but still fun. Came down in the dark. Thats what happens when you start climbing after 3pm and you are hungover. lol.

Recommend this one.
Had fun on this one. Highly recommend try cams for p2 worked very well for me. Fell on a blue #2.5 it held tight. Exposure was awesome on p3. You need to make your own anchor on top of p4. You should belay your partner to the top of glory road. It was a life saver bringing a head lamp and flashlight. Got started late and had to hike out in the dark DAM. Just kidding Arizona early summer night hikes are the best in the world. But I am not biased or anything. (doing this route was a lot of hard work)

So-so route: p1 is pretty nice, crux is low, protected with pitons. P2 looks nicer from the ground. Like all the cracks here it's a bit flared and awkward. Pro was tricky and the pitch involved leg burning stems (the uphill hike didn't help).
