4 out of 5 stars Long moves for short people, but still fun!

Some long moves if you're only 5 feet tall (but the moves are all to really good holds), but still fun climbing. Well bolted although you will go for a ride if you come off near the 4th bolt or at the anchors.

3 out of 5 stars '

The start is a tricky boulder problem, but then the climbing eases to the big comfortable holds that are the norm for this wall. It's not as pumpy as the other 10's, but still a good workout.

3 out of 5 stars '

Tough clipping the anchors. Slopey if you go to the left, a shallow "envelope" crimp and a looong move (I'm short) to a jug if you go right.

Kind of tricky climbing for a 5.8 from the ground to the second bolt.

4 out of 5 stars Fun and easy

Good first lead although it's probably a little harder than 5.7. The crux is indeed a puddle, even on dry days, BUT the hold is HUGE so it's not too bad.

4 out of 5 stars Great 5.8!

Really quite a fun climb! Some very interesting moves and holds for a 5.8. I think the very bottom might be more of a 5.9, but theres a big tree right behind it to lean on if you need a little boost.

4 out of 5 stars Whee!

If you like a little bit of friction climbing, this is the one. Really interesting foot smear move at the bottom, then a fun pumpy roof above that.
