4 out of 5 stars Awesome crack

Very cool low moves into a nice hard crack climb up to the roof. Then awesome hand jams through the roof to the anchors.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent Climb!

Very cool crack start (with a neat flake alternate to the right) and excellent climbing above. The 5.0, R-rated traverse is very cool. A classic climb with a cool view.

2 out of 5 stars Not a great climb

Pretty crummy rock, a steep chossy approach and zero decent top rope anchors. An OK lead if you're in the area, but don't go out of your way

3 out of 5 stars Fun little lead

Fairly easy moves to start out with, with good clipping stances. Tricky move to the last bolt, with multiple ascent options. Definitely repeatable.

4 out of 5 stars Tricky low crux

First moves are rough and unprotected. If you're unsure of it, stick-clip the first bolt.

4 out of 5 stars First Sport Lead

Tricky moves between the 2nd and 3rd bolt, then a neat little flake pull to the last bolt before the anchors.
