Ben and Nate--and me
Ben and Nate were here from Chapel Hill, first visit. They chose before leaving this longest 5.7 at Pilot, and the hardest top-rope 5.7 imo, with too small and sharp or rounded crimps in too many places with too little for feet to be "just" 5.7. Nice left-side flake, very nice ledges, no serious overhang; but serious vertical, three crux problems, and no relief at the top for how easy that might have looked. Ben and Nate say: you need very good balance for this one.
If you do this 5.7 climb, you are safely within 5.7 climbing ability, imo.
