It's a monster
A lot of fun! Many finger holds and scare factors. Roof's the real trouble. Good luck!

It's a workout!
Really fun route! Easily above a 5.10 if you pull the roof (without the chains, of course). Get ready to suck wind. about 20-25 ft of crack without rest. Watch for water on right side in winter.

Fun route
It really is quite easy. You always have footholds and handholds simultaneously. Great beginner route. It whets newbies appetite for more, and the view is spectacular!

Not too difficult
It's not a 9+. If you already know the route, it can be climbed in less than two minutes (I and a buddy of mine both have made it in under 90 seconds). The first time we climbed it was without shoes or chalk, so it's not too bad. It's just the intimidation factor that scares people. Lots of exposure. The roof is the only physical part-you need to be able to do a full pull-up, so you need a little upper body strength. But, it's one of the most fun, rewarding routes around.

Fun climb
Easy enough crack line. There's always enough room for the fingers. The only challenge is that the crack leans from left to right as you ascend. The roof's a bear!
