Cruel it was
Super technical and awesome, but it did hurt my feet.

one of the best
Be solid at 5.10 face. Really nice climbing. MAYBE MOVE A FEW bolts from the last pitch to the others?

Not so cruel
very fun, sometime scary slab climbing.
I climbed twice this route in a week. This connect to Grand wall directly without a boring A0.

Elegant
We did this the afternoon we pulled into Squamish, and it's lucky we did. It rained the next several days and it was the only climb we got in. A nice and exciting line.
