5 out of 5 stars BEST 5.10 IN THE PARK?

Maybe Illusion Dweller is slightly better, but this is a one of a kind, phenomenal climb. Best done with 1) two ropes or 2) moving pieces up the initial crack and the traverse. If you choose option 2, your second must do the direct start, which is worth doing too. My two cents on the grade is that it is appropriate. A hard 5.10.
