5 out of 5 stars jamming, stemming, manteling; what else you want?

It was in my to do list for quite a while and it was worth the wait. No loose blocks to report. I would not compare this route to the line b/c the routes are just so different. This route is quite clean except for near the top (close to the roof a little dirt remains). The stemming section was definitely cruxy but not too bad.

4 out of 5 stars definitely still

some loose blocks and dirt on the route, but easy to avoid and a really fun route. Consistent difficulty and good protection.

5 out of 5 stars rope solo

A fun route. Secure holds the whole way. The roof blocks are ugly though.

2 out of 5 stars still not totally clean.

one loose jug to deal with and lots of moss/dirt. The finishing moves aaaaalllllmost make up for it.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing route

Only 2 semi-loose blocks left, easy to maneuver around--stop yer bitching, people! This route is perfectly safe, perfectly wonderful, sustained for the grade, better than The Line, never requires WAITING IN LINE, and is an all around joy to ascend. If you really believe the Supertopo star rating for this route (2 stars) as compared to a route like, say, Blue Cab (3 stars), you are a moron. DON'T MISS THIS ONE!

5 out of 5 stars This sister is not as ugly ...

as Supertopo says. Actually, it is a great, well-protected and safe climb (now that the loose blocks are gone). Stepup from The Line, few horizontal dikes, sustained stemming where the blocks were. I think that's the crux. The roof provides an icing over this route.
I followed it 3 years ago, this time I led the entire route.

4 out of 5 stars Funny

We started this as the sun went down and at the half way mark as darkness completely closed my buddy found a headlamp he stashed in his pack for some mountain biking. He had totally forgotten about it so we were doing the dark thing for a while which was interesting. Roof was awesome end to a beautiful day. fun all round

4 out of 5 stars -

I agree with CaptainPolution, I found this route more interesting and rewarding than The Line. Excellent pro all the way to the top.

3 out of 5 stars Psychedelic Tree

Actually a quite nice climb despite a few loose blocks. I encountered only two but that's probably two two many.

2 out of 5 stars Poo Poo

Someone needs to trundle those loose blocks before someone gets killed. Seriously. Not a super great route like people make it out to be, but the topout's pretty cool, as long as you go over the roofs and not up the suffering tree.
