3 out of 5 stars Reachy

Nice climb with well-placed bolts with good stances. However, I found several moves to be right at the limit of my reach (but bomber holds). Shorter than 5'10" may find it more challenging.

4 out of 5 stars Not too sure about the route

The leftmost route on the face to the left of UNR crack. Start on the flake and work up and to the right. Not sure if the arete on the left is in bounds. If you use it, the route doesn't seem like a 10d. Protection seems thin in middle section, but easily toproped.

5 out of 5 stars Real fun climb

Flake seems to be crux, although save some energy for above. Short people will have much harder time of it if they can't reach the flake. I really liked this climb. Lots of variety.

Top Rope Top Rope ascent by: lacomj on 2009-01-31 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars On Safari

Not sure exactly where it starts, as the very bottom seems harder than 5.7 unless you sortof scramble up the steep ground for the first 5 ft. Bolted for about the first 2/3 of the way up. You may want to bring a few smallish nuts once you get above the last bolt. Without the trad pro, the runout at the top above the last hanger would be about 30 ft. Top has two good bolted rap rings (fair amount of swingout though) that are shared with Africa Flake.

Top Rope Top Rope ascent by: lacomj on 2009-02-21 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Improbable Crack

Easy hike to setup top rope. Start on diagonal crack left of UNR crack and pretty much head up. An easier start is another vertical crack a few feet to the left of UNR crack. Difficulty seems fairly sustained until you near the top, but there are a few decent rest sections.

Hang Dog Hang Dog ascent by: lacomj on 2009-03-14 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars UNR Crack

Nice, short crack route with two good belay anchors at the top that are easily reached by hike for top roping. Many good holds both in the crack and to the sides. Crux seems to be the crack section about halfway up, which is a bit more barren of holds outside of the crack.

4 out of 5 stars Fun climb

It was dry when nearby routes were wet (and cold!). Turned out to be pretty fun. Got a bit lost looking for way back down though.

Like they said, the start is the crux.
