5 out of 5 stars Fun morning out!

Great climbing! The crux pitch is fairly sustained with only a couple of good stemming rests. Beware of a flash pump on a hot day! D= All other pitches are also memorable and overall the route has some of the best rock quality I have seen on Yam.

4 out of 5 stars tufa! :D

Fun climb. There are a couple hard moves around the middle, then it is super cruiser to the top.

4 out of 5 stars My quads hurt

Well I think my slab climbing improved from the base of this behemoth to the summit. Good and fun but I would not repeat. Not sure if the high steps killed the quads or the run down to the parking lot from the summit. Also this is the first route ever to have pumped my shoulder.

3 out of 5 stars Quick evening route.

The climbing is solid, though the grading is odd, (ie. a move on the 5.9 pitch felt harder than the moves on the 10b pitch) Other than that it is a quick climb at around 2 and a half hours car to car if you don't stop to smell the roses. The grade on the 10b is being generous.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent.

Every lead feels like a new sport lead, the exposure almost a second thought with the quality of bolting found on this route. Every pitch is a different style of climbing from vertical jugs to balancy crimps on sharp limestone slab. Get on this route before everyone else does. It will be worth it.

5 out of 5 stars Do it.

Great climb. Well bolted, and good to get on either as a warm up for the rest of the wave or a first 11d red point.
