Description:

Climb past 2d bolt and moves left. One of the more popular routes on this section.

Texas Limestone lists the rating as 5.8, and TexasClimbers lists it as 5.10. I've changed the rating to 5.10, since I don't see how to do the start at all, especially as a 5.8. I've added a photo that shows it's "a little thin". If anyone has the beta on the start, please post it! Edited by Austinclmbr 5/9/06...possible two moves to start, one is a right hand side pull to mantle the ledge, if reach is issue, try left hand gaston to mantle. Both are 5.10 to learn, but 5.8 once you have the beta down.

4 out of 5 stars 5.8D if you do the direct start

Deadpoint to a poor gaston for the first move - the rest is easy climbing on buckets. Set a toprope and let any beginners climb the crack to the left and finish fromt the big ledge
