4 out of 5 stars Long and sustained

This is a very long and sustained route. I started at the bottom so the first bolt is a ways up. Easy climbing to the first bolt. The 2nd bolt is really high with the chance of hitting the huge slab/ledge below should you blow it. I used a blue TCU after the 1st bolt (great placement) on the way to the 2nd bolt. The route continues to be sustained 5.11 climbing. The 3rd bolt is placed in a way wich makes it hard to clip from below. You will need to get level or pass it a bit to get a good clipping stance. The route was fun but very tough for the grade. I took a couple of good falls and finished it right before darkness fell. The top is low angle face climbing with not very many positive holds. The anchors are muzzy fish hooks.

4 out of 5 stars Cool Climb

I liked this climb. It is an easier climb at te bottom and then gets steeper at the top. Nice moves at the top over the buldge. Great warm up for the harder climbs to the left.

4 out of 5 stars Fun climb.

Great reachy crux with a bit of balance thrown in for fun. The slab move at the top above the ledge is a little commiting but a great way to end a sport route.

3 out of 5 stars Good warm up.

There are a few variations to this climb. You can make it harder or easier than 5.9. There are also bolted anchors at the top.

3 out of 5 stars Stiff 5.8

I thought a couple of themoves were harder than 5.8. Use a .75 or smaller cam to protect first moves until you reach the first bolt.
