3 out of 5 stars Pumpy

This is a great pumpy problem. Follow the diagonal crack up the face towards the right and then go straight up. Do not use the ledge beneath for a harder route. Closer to a 5.9, but with ledge it is only a 5.7

4 out of 5 stars Three Options

When you go up the friction series, there is a ledge about 5/6 of the way up the wall. Up to here the route is only a 5.8, however afterwards there are three alternatives to the route progressing in difficulty from left to right. The left side, climb the corner. The Middle go straight up the face of the slab. The right, work your way up small finger cracks until you can stretch to a jug. Very fun set of climbs. They make you think your way up.

4 out of 5 stars One of my favorites

There are multiple ways to get up this route, but they all revolve around the little blue know half way up the wall. It is such a hard yet satisfying move once you have mastered it.

4 out of 5 stars Took me 3 attempts

I had to get a heel hook so I could bring my left hand back underneath my right, but the first two moves are the hardest.

4 out of 5 stars Second Try

First try I was hangdogging like crazy up the first section but once I got to the top I just went straight back up clean.
