4 out of 5 stars Had to do a 5.6.

I have done a 5.5, but never a 5.6--plus everyone seems to like it.

The start is a little thin for what I would think a 5.6 should be, but the rest is a dream. Great beginner route, but I thingk I would have to climb something else for a proper warm-up.

Another route labeled with a brass placard screwed into the wall.

8 bolt; 2 anchors.
