3 out of 5 stars Fun route with lots of clips.

I think this is a bit easier than rated, but a fun climb at any rate. Watch pulling your rope on this climb, mine got hungup about 25 feet up the wall. These are easy leads with a cruxy move at the anchor.

3 out of 5 stars fun route - liked jack be nimble a bit better

That route was a bit longer, but both are pretty much the same experience. Next time I visit these will be my warm-up routes.

3 out of 5 stars not a bad lead

This route was relatively straight forward with good holds, a bit thin near the top but big cracks on either side if you need them. The first bolt is a bit akward to clip, but otherwise straight forward.

3 out of 5 stars Thin top.

This route really only has one 5.10 level move on it, I would say the rest is 5.9. Clipping the first bolt is interesting (as they all are on the moderate wall), but pretty cruiser climbing until going from the 3rd to 4th bolt. I moved to the crack on the right to pull it on lead, but later came back on TR and pulled the face. The holds are very small and require some patience and balance, but they are there. It actually is quite fun to pull that face on those small holds.

4 out of 5 stars Best route on the moderate wall -- pure fun

This was rated at 5.8 in the guide we had, but I could see it at 5.7. Again clipping the first bolt and pulling the overhang is the only tricky part of this route, the rest is cruiser fun and the flake is awesome.

2 out of 5 stars Dirty and a bit more challenging

I thought this route was one of the more challenging on the wall and it was dirty. Still worth the climb though. It has a couple of fun moves and I got to practice some fist jams.

3 out of 5 stars This is a worthy 5.8

Pulling the corner near the second bolt and pulling the face to the anchors make the climb. Not really hard, but you have to think for a couple of seconds, commit and go. I really like this route.

3 out of 5 stars Decent warm-up, slightly runout at the top

A decent warm-up route for the rest of the moderate wall. A bit runout from the last bolt to the anchor, but lots of good holds and pretty easy climbing.

3 out of 5 stars nice warm-up route

Took a spin on a top-rope as it was already set, but think it would be an easy lead. Agree that the only hard move is getting into position to set the anchor.

3 out of 5 stars good warm-up lead for this area

This is a pretty straight forward and easy lead to begin a day. The first three bolts are a bit vertical, but there are good hand and footholds...and not too obvious, but not that hard either. I give it a solid 5.9, but after the 3rd or 4th bolt it is a 5.6 to the anchors.
