Description:

This route is a lot of work. You'll find it around the right corner from Rock Wars. Hand crack turns into squeeze chimney/lieback depending on your level of comfort with running it out, then to awkward hands and thin overhung fingers on the top. The crux is pretty much the exit move to the ledge. I won't spoil it for you. Guidebook says 5.8, but that top move is harder in my opinion.

4 out of 5 stars Little Weird

Im comfortable leading most 10s on gear..and I thought this was a weird route all together..and the top fingercrack was pumpy and difficult for a 5.8 grade..I agree with the description on here..does make you work, all kinds of climbing on this route, highly recommend for the fun factor!
