5 out of 5 stars shakin' the cobwebs off

First route I've climbed at the leap and I was very impressed. Far steeper than any other 5.7 I've done and tons of fun.

Pretty loose rock about halfway up the first pitch that might benefit being looked at.

4 out of 5 stars went right at top instead of left

instead of going left at the top I ended up going left which may have made it slightly harder. I'd say more like 10c

4 out of 5 stars quite a bit harder after a storm

rock was dry but the entire route was covered in crap and much of the crimps and pockets were smeared over with dirt. 5.8 start was all wet and not available as well.

on a side note, is the 5.10 crux a dyno? Doing it statically felt quite a bit harder than 10a... maybe I missed something.

Great route though, well worth doing.

4 out of 5 stars Fun

I thought that the bypass past the "bubble" was a lot easier.

4 out of 5 stars nice

Lots of fun with a giant area for crashing down into. Just get a spotter if you're worried.

5 out of 5 stars ran outa water

12 hours in 90+ degrees but the route is well worth it. Great sustained climbing in the 5.8-5.9 range and the 5.10's were quite good.

Couldn't say much about the 5.12 as I was starting to get a little loopy by that point from lack of water. I do remember being assaulted by blackflies(!) while belaying my partner on this pitch. I have no idea how they were there ad not anywhere else on the climb. I certainly didn't see any water.

A 70m rope will treat you well.
