3 out of 5 stars A good climb

A nice long diverse route. A good area in the heat of the day to get on some stuff in the shade. Hit this one up.

5 out of 5 stars Truly Epic

This is the first +10 pitch route that I have done. A great and easily protectable route. The cascade was flowing pretty hard just past the pendulum. It made for an epic traverse. There is nothing like a jamming in a crack with water shooting out of it. The granite is so sharp that you stick pretty well to it regardless. There are some awesome, less traveled hand crack variations. We took those making it a little harder hence my 5.8 rating.

4 out of 5 stars My Nemesis

You transition from a big fat well protectable lie-back crack into a thinner finger crack. The transition from the lieback to the small crack proved to be the crux for me and it spit me out. The finger crack does not let up for another 20 feet or so. from there it slabs out a bit and opens you up to a beautiful view of the valley and gains you access to the Devil's Bathtub.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet Experience

It took a little searching to find this one. A really fun and exposed top. It was a little intimate on the top with a partner. While we were pulling the rope up to do the Simul-Rappel I could have sworn I felt the top rock wiggle a bit.

This route took alot of work and I would say that I am a pretty confident hard 5.10 climber. Check it out though
