3 out of 5 stars Hidden Gem

Holy crap! I've heard about this route but finally did it after a few years. Although only 85 feet and mostly climbed by hardmen to set up TOPROPEs (grrrr) for difficult climbs to its left and right that they can't or are too lazy to lead, this is a real hidden gem. Highly enjoyable with hero holds everywhere. Too short to be a classic, to good to be overlooked.

Very few, if any, climbers go beyond p. 1
