4 out of 5 stars Good Training Climb

We have always joked that the 3rd approach is harder than the climb, and often rope it up because of the sloped ground at the base and the risk of a tumble even on a minor slip. It is also usually damp.

The climb is a good trainer for lead. When teaching other people, I usually get them to use the bolts the first time (not as sketchy as everyone else seems to feel), and then trad the second time with bolts as a fall-back. The transition from the deep shelf onto the upper buttress in the middle of the 2nd pitch is the best part of the climb.

4 out of 5 stars I can't believe that I trusted those bolts!

The scramble up to the start was more dicey than the climb. Still have a hard time believing that we trusted those bolts, backed up the belay with a cam. Lead both sort pitches. Great climb to teach multi pitch to a young follower.

3 out of 5 stars Not worth the approach

Fun little route, but it's definately not worth the hike up. Bolts are pretty old and rusty.

2 out of 5 stars Not worth the hike..

If coming to the South End just for this, it's probably not worth the hike. Old rusty hangers all the way including 2 for a 1st pitch end. I ran the two together. Ultimately rapped off tree from top. 3rd class approach was more interesting than climb..

4 out of 5 stars First Lead Ever!

Did my first lead on this route today! True, none of the moves are terribly difficult. In fact, climbing the 3rd class ledge to get to the climb is just as hairy.
The old bolts did make it sketchy. Went ahead and did it all in one pitch.

4 out of 5 stars fun two pitch

Good, fun climb. Starts right of False Impressions. First pitch is about 50' and second pitch is about 40'. Good belay after first pitch. All the hangers are old and sketchy. Can do entire thing in one pitch. Great views.

3 out of 5 stars easy, easy, fun climb.

Good views south to Shortoff. VERY easy climbing, but the old leeper hangers make it a little scary on lead and should be replaced. If I did this climb again I would use trad gear instead. Can be topropee using a 60+meter rope.

0 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

Not worth the schlep up the hill in my opinion. Easy, uninspiring, and protected by manky, poorly placed bolts. Consider it a trad route if you insist on climbing it.
