4 out of 5 stars Actually a really good climb

Did this route on the weekend - very fun with bomber gear. The climb ascend a broken corner about 20 metres right of "Boonie on the Nose" and is quite obvious. The grade felt more like 5.8. Great finishing moves up the arete of the corner.

3 out of 5 stars Pretty Hard

This was a nice route, but I was never sure I was on the right route - thought I was on the 11c. Perhaps I did the crux wrong, but for me I had to use a mono pocket and then some delicate climbing to the left. Harder than the other 11a's and 10d's I had done that day.

1 out of 5 stars Sandbag

If I was on the right climb (and I think I was), the roof move is way, way, harder than 5.8. My climbing partner, who onsights into the 11s, fell on it. There are very small crimps and sidepulls leading up to some very tricky roof moves. More like 10a.

4 out of 5 stars Fun route

It is easy for 11a, but I'm not complaining.

4 out of 5 stars Fun Route

This was a good challenging route with no hard definable crux - just consistant climbing on a gently overhanging wall. It's run out to the first bolt, so be careful.

4 out of 5 stars Cool route

The moves are hard right from the ground and don't really let off until about 10 metres. Some funky body positions are required to make progress and what seem like very tiny holds. I'd be interested to hear what others think of the 11b grade.

2 out of 5 stars Sporty to the first bolt

My wife wanted to hang the draws on this one, but declined after seeing the height of the first bolt (also given the route starts on a ledge 10 metres off the ground and the moves to the 1st bolt are not straight forward, I'd say it would be nice to have a lower bolt). Other than that, a cool climb with kind of a lame ending (a walk up a gully).

5 out of 5 stars Top five

This was in my top five of favs in a week at the Gorge. Loved it. Definitely tricky at the top.

3 out of 5 stars Nice but not great

The first bolt is not fun to get to without a stick clip. Pretty hard first move then a crimpfest to the top.
