5 out of 5 stars Just getting to the hoizontals was a pain

Going up the left side of the climb was a non starter for me. I came in from the right (I am very short) and it was much easier to get under the roof. The hand traverse right was lots of fun, the heel hook, mantle even more fun. Nice climb!

3 out of 5 stars laughing man

Burly and physical roof - but takes great gear.

10 variation is to the left once you pull the roof, the 11 version goes up and right to not-so-obvious holds.

R climbing before the roof is about 5.8/9.

3 out of 5 stars Worthwhile roof problem with good gear


Since when is this 11b? In my old Swain guidebook it's rated 5.10- and that seems pretty reasonable to me. I could imagine it being very hard if you don't know the beta. A worthwhile route.
