4 out of 5 stars 11ish feel

Lower slab feels no harder than 5.9 moves. This applys to any move below the main dihedral roof, for at this point, the route turns into a different beast.
To pull the main roof, most climbers head out left, following the horizontal crack, then attack the upper dihedrel. I suggest using the undercling on the roof, a high step with the left foot, to gain the main horizontal edge on the face of this upper dihedral. The left hand moves off the undercling and works up a thin crack until standing upright while pressing on the upper roof. Step high and right with the right foot while converting the upper roof edge into a series of underclings and pinches. Reach far right to next obvious hold (hatchet) to gain the top hold (ax head). Now clip to rap anchors.

5 out of 5 stars will never forget this one climbed over and over

I jumped to the point then pulled back into crack. You can finish going up along edge of upper face or traverse out left.

5 out of 5 stars Exploring this valley after discussions with Clay

Stunning orange glow with the right light. I enjoied the climb from bottom to top. Head over to this valley from Sam's via road or cut across. A fire road goes along valley floor.

3 out of 5 stars v4

Top of clib is the difficuly of route. Thin edges and a very sharp right hand razor help you pull onto the upper slope.
PG13 for the downclimb
