5 out of 5 stars Fun one

Start again is as hard as you want it to be. If you are shorter (I'm 5'8"), starting just left of the rope line is the more challenging start as the wall cuts away at the foot of the wall leaving a little cave. Get your right hand on the left side of the large hueco and then get the left in a chalky pocket while you get your feet up on the undercut part of the bottom wall with your feet off to the right. Then make a quick move to reach up to the larger pocket that taller people can reach standing up. Then follow the route straight up from here. An easier start is to the right of the rope on the right side of the hueco. Again, kick your feet out to the right leaning back on a solid right hand. Not only is this an easier start, the first 1/3 of the route is then easier. The main crux at the top requires dipping your fingers on both hands into tiny, but deep pockets, walk your feet up and then stand up quickly to grab the pockets up high. Fun route. Enjoy the view! Bring long long slings.
