4 out of 5 stars Lover's Leap-esque

Cool route and an easy day trip in a senic, uncrowded area. Good parking lot camping. Did in 5 long pitches with double ropes and would do more pitches next time to make it less of a drag. Somehow got lost on p3 and climbed a long licheny pitch to the big ledge - that's what you get when you climb with approach beta as your only beta.

3 out of 5 stars Quite direct

Last pitch felt f-ing hard and slick. Have never looked at a topo and route decription so many times on a climb. I'm sure people climb this and other big limestone trad routes with single ropes, and I bet it sucks.

4 out of 5 stars Spectacular

Climbing gets better and better. Enjoy the retro-bolting the that turned p5 "into something of a sport pitch." #3.5 Camalot or #4 Friend or both nice for p7 - if you just have one this size save it for up high on the pitch.

3 out of 5 stars Whoa!

This place has some of the most obtuse climbing I've ever done. Maybe we were beat from Yam the day before, but I've never had such a head trip on 10a "sport" routes or worked so hard top ropping a 10b/c. Cool zone with interesting climbing but be prepared to get scared.
