4 out of 5 stars Stellar, Tricky, Fun

Highball start leads to good pro on the flake. It is a little bit tricky at the crux, and super runout at the top, but the crux is short and the top is scrambly. All in all, a good, old (FA was in 1977!), route.

Small nuts and Cams up to BD #2.

3 out of 5 stars Diiiirty

Past the flake, the entire route is caked in moss. Very sketchy.

(I messed up before, climbed it now). Tricky lead. Exposed. A bit runout. Tricky crux moves.

4 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

Easy fun route. A nice warm-up. A littel run out at the top, but easy
