Description:

Hand crack on face, around the corner left of Hackberry I just dropped the rating to 5.8, which is what the book says. Others say easier than that. Can't believe someone listed it as a 9. Much easier than Hackberry which went at "5.9-" on the Hell score sheet.

4 out of 5 stars Piss my pants

This was my first 5.8 trad lead and it gave me a good scare, but enjoyed it non-the-less. I wish I had a sack full of #3's for this route. Protection was rather difficult too, seemed to be hard to find good constrictions to place cams in.

Definitely a 5.8 climb though. Don't listen to the 5.7 sand baggers ;)
