4 out of 5 stars Nice Warm up

A nice climb to warm up on before hitting the more difficult climbs on the slab. Would recommend this climb over stinky salmon for sending up a beginner. No issue with crumbling rock for me, it must have all been cleaned for the year.

4 out of 5 stars Getting Harder

I popped a pretty good rock off surprising my belay (wear helmet while belaying here), the missing hold surly made the move at that section a bit tougher. Good mix of jugs, smears, and crimps on this climb. I would rate this climb somewhere in the 9 to 10a range.

3 out of 5 stars Tricky

The low crux with a grounded first bolt and a high second makes this a tricky lead for a 5.7. Easy after second bolt.

4 out of 5 stars Great Rock

Best rock at the butte, top roped it off the third set of chains, will use the tree instead next time. Nice couple thin sections of the crack make it a worthy climb

4 out of 5 stars Grrrreat!

Lots of fun packed into this short climb with easy access and top rope set-up. Definitely will revisit this one in the future.

4 out of 5 stars Warm on Top

Climbed on a hot day (100 degrees in Sandy) and once you climb above the tree tops the Volcanic Dome Rock gets a bit toasty to touch. Other than that a nice fun route. I enjoyed the route more than AC.

4 out of 5 stars Long and Positive

Super Positive, but a long climb makes for a good route (used most of a 60m). I would probably rate more a 5.7 than 5.8 due to the super positive holds with no unprotected moves or friction work required.

3 out of 5 stars Stiff for 5.8

With the dirty rock the moves are a bit tough on the top half of the climb, I would rate it more a 5.9. Otherwise this is a good challenging climb.
