Short!

Pumpy! Will work on the redpoint.

The crux is quite enjoyable.

reachy

Best 10 on the shady side. Almost onsighted, but hit the crux and got pumped out. :(

fun

This is a fun Climb! I'm not sure if I started at the traditional spot but it was cool anyway! But the darn thing ate my brand new cam!!

This was my first trad lead. I followed the rest. I was freaked out. Trad is so much more scary, but I'm exited to get into it.

60m rope doesn't quite make it. It's short like 3 feet. It was close enough that I could get down by grabbing the rope on the other end and lowering myself the last 3 feet without the ATC. This could be a classic climb if it wasn't for the horrible bolts on it. The second bolt is one of those old bolts that doesn't have a high strength rating. Another bolt spins (not good). And the first bolt on the second crux is barely out of reach from the comfortable ledge after the long run-out. I recommend putting another bolt before it, or you could find somewhere to place some pro. After the second crux, the only protection you have is 2 old pitons. The first one looks ok, but the second looks pretty sketchy!! The top anchors look kind of bad too, but they work. I would recommend changing them, but since I've never put in bolts nor do I have the equipment, I can't do it. Overall awesome climb. It would be a classic if it had better protection!

Easy for it's grade. Fun route though
