5 out of 5 stars Downgrade to 5.8

Excellent route for its grade. A nice, long, relaxed climb.

NOTE! The opening moves are the hardest and not at all protected. Its possible to take a 15 foot deck onto uneven ground if you blow the clip.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing.

Bizzare and tricky start to get off the ground. After that, its 3 pitches of awesome. Nice exposure, even for 5.1. (I'm increasing the grade by a number to account for the difficult start).

3 out of 5 stars One hard move.

Much like 'Jetsam' this route isn't 5.3 at all times. Near the beginning, 20 ft up, is a tricky move that requires a stemming smear that pulls a slightly overhung section. Clearly not 5.3 at that crux. The rest is easy to the top. I'd rate the crux moves 5.6 (slightly easier than Jetsam's crux). How you grade a route like this debatable, but I feel it should be graded to its hardest section. Takes good gear. Tons of side-pulls. Sent on trad.

3 out of 5 stars Tricky start but worth the climb.

The opening moves to the first ledge are probably 5.7 ~ 5.9 ish. After that, easy 5.3 right to the top with a small cruxy high step 3/4 of the way up. I liked this climb for the challenging start and the nice pro to the top. Sent this on trad.

3 out of 5 stars Nice route that wanders.

Noticed the following: slightly tricky anchor clip, and unprotected second clip.
