5 out of 5 stars AWESOME CLIMB

What a relief climbing this thing the day after Prince of Darkness - and my second at Red Rock. There was not another party in the whole canyon, it was a pristine day and the ledges are like rooms at the Hilton. There is great variety - a bit of everything on this one. Do it.

3 out of 5 stars My feet are still hurting...

Its definitely a fun climb, but I'd knock a couple of fun points off for the hanging belays and repetitiveness. It started to feel like Groundhog Day on that thing - grab crimper > traverse over > repeat 100 times.
