2 out of 5 stars Looks better than it is...

More stressful than fun. Loose blocks, sharp edges, etc. The gear is good, but use caution nonetheless.

4 out of 5 stars Bouldery crux to cruiser face.

Easy for the grade. A few finger sized cams for the start if you aren't comfortable soloing 5.6ish fingers. Awesome position once you pull the lip onto the face.

4 out of 5 stars Burly crux

Great gear, good stances. Typical NRG crack -- despite looking splitter, there are few instances where you need to jam/lock. Soft for 11+.

4 out of 5 stars .

Bring some crack technique, and it goes pretty easily.

5 out of 5 stars Very nice

The crux bolt looks like hell. There is ample gear in the crack to the right though... a blue, grey, or purple C4 will do the trick.

5 out of 5 stars !

Thin, powerful start. The movement through the podded seam is perfect. Surprise RP on the second go.

5 out of 5 stars Killer, killer climb

Clean on the 4th go. A techy face, 20+ feet of flakes and huecos through the roof, multiple cruxes on the overhanging headwall... what a line!

5 out of 5 stars Ego boosting!

Badass line. Definitely the standout in this area.

Unless you climb this as an eliminate (underclings instead of the obvious horn on the face), it's pretty damn soft for the grade. I have never come close to onsighting 12c, and redpointing at this grade usually takes a concerted effort. While I'd love to think that I was having a moment of unusual strength, I think the real grade is 12a or b.
