4 out of 5 stars Not quite a 5.11

Fun roof pull. Rest of the climb is pumpy, with nice horizontals. Crux is a shallow two finger dish hold for your left hand to pull you up to a deep horizontal. Remaining 10 feet or so have great jug holds but is overhung and will tire you out quicker than you'd think.

4 out of 5 stars Great Lead

Led this at the beginning of the day when I was fresh. First bolt is scarily high (~15' or so), and second hanger bolt under the roof is loose, enough to swivel and cause heart palpitations. I would recommend pulling the roof on TR before trying this lead. Roof pull is solid with a heel hook, and the rest of the climb has great foot and hand holds but gets really pumpy towards the end. Had to hang on last bolt. Securing the anchors is really tough - do it quickly or you will get too tired.

Best route at the crag.

4 out of 5 stars Fortis

Very fun route. Roof took some time, but once I found the holds it was pretty straightforward. Watch loose rock at the top - a hold broke on me right before the anchors and nearly hit my belayer. Bring helmets.

Will look to lead this next time.

Very fun climb, and pretty standard 5.9. A lot of smearing.

4 out of 5 stars Romeo's Left

Really a one move wonder. The side pull out of the upper pocket is a 5.8+ move, but the rest is really straightforward. More fun than Romeo's Ladder
