5 out of 5 stars Solid 5.9 with 5.10 crux at top

This is one of my favorite climbs up in boone. It is a constant easy 5.9 up to the last 5 feet. The last bit requires a tight crimp on just a nub of quartz and good footwork. I finally clipped the last quick draw in and with an extra 3 foot of slack in my rope to get it threaded I lost my grip. With the extra slack and the last clip in 5 ft down it was a fun 10-15 ft drop. I was so burned out by the end I had to climb around and repel down to get my quickdraw. I definitely recomend hitting this one up
