4 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

Found the route fun but I would not call it a Yam 5.8. It shares the first two pitchs of Easy street as most of the west end routes do. I found this climb alot more of a sport route than trad however that being said this is not a sport climb. I would say one of the better west end routes.
