4 out of 5 stars Good climb minus the tree

This is a fun climb on a corner, but would be best climbed before or after the area is green. I got to the top and ran into some tree limbs.

Had to get some gear down for somebody. Fun climb, though.

4 out of 5 stars Good climb

As stated below, crux is about 10-15' up and after that is "smooth sailing" indeed.

4 out of 5 stars Great intermediate lead

This is a good climb to begin leading at an intermediate level. The fall wouldn't be too far and it is only difficult at the start.

4 out of 5 stars Definitely not a 5.9

As someone mentioned earlier it is a fun climb (that does share anchors with Lion Tamer to the left), but it climbs more like a 5.7. I might give it a 7+ if it means that much to somebody.

4 out of 5 stars Good 5.9

This felt much more like a 5.9 than did Frankenberry, which is supposed to be a 9+. It was much more challenging and fun.

5 out of 5 stars Super good climb

The climb was nice, a few good parts to work on. The crux for me was keeping a wide hold on the rounded out rock at the top. Also the wolf spider right by the best hold made it harder (seriously the body alone was 1 in. long!).

4 out of 5 stars Easiness all the way

Huge jugs, big holds, obvious foot placements...all in all a great climb for a beginner.
