3 out of 5 stars .

5.10 climbing to 3 moves that involve one impossible sideways reach, and more 5.10 climbing to finish. The sideways fall was not very pleasant.

1 out of 5 stars It may have a perfect hueco...

... but you would be completely waco to get on this climb, if you are 5 feet tall. Out of 5 bolts, 3 would be impossible to hang (the first one is stick-clipped, so it doesn't count). The only way to pull the crux is to grab a loose moving rock-- and then hand-foot-match it, for good measure. Make sure you push the rock IN, before hand-foot-matching. Awesome! (NOT!)

1 out of 5 stars If it was possible to give negative stars...

... this route would get it. At least, get someone else to hang the draws, if you are short. Better yet, don't climb it at all.

Finally sent, after trying it on and off for 3 years. :) First go of the day, and didn't feel very hard.

4 out of 5 stars One try

This one will be tough for me. Everyone talks about "hard boulder problem" at the start, but it just didn't seem to let up after the supposed "end" of the boulder problem. Every single section seems to have a stretchy move.

Still, I am glad i tried it.

3 out of 5 stars Updated to 5.11a on redriverclimbing.com

and I think that 11a is fair, for the moves at the top.

3 out of 5 stars Reach helps...

...and if you don't have one, you better get strong on hangboard crimps. :)

4 out of 5 stars Harder if you are short

Tried this route a couple of years ago, and couldn't do the moves at the top. This time around,figured out the short-person beta. It is possible, just not comfortable!

4 out of 5 stars "short and stout"--2nd go.

Well, no, not really stout. If you are short, you will have to do a little jump to a good crimp. And then a little jump to a good hold. And then a little pop to the anchor-clipping jug.... But otherwise, it seems like a gimme 12a. more like a little boulder problem. the "12a" part is barely 20 ft long.

4 out of 5 stars Really fun

Somehow I only come to this wall when it is raining and the rock is damp, but even so, this is a really cool route.
