4 out of 5 stars Gordy onsights Lil Smokeys

Super juggy and fun with good placements.WAY better than the other two oscar meyer routes,but when the crack ends ,it gets sketch.Its like a good 15 to 20 ft. run out and the rock starts to crumble more and more the higher you get.Still the more solid route on the rock tough.No anchors at top,so have a good plan.
