4 out of 5 stars Good stuff!

Lay back the initial flake to the left after leaving the the ground followed by an obvious 3 finger scope/semi scope for the left hand above. First pro placement is above the flake or you can cam inside the flake if you like. Great view from the top of lake in the valley. Sucks up gear like a monster! Great placements! A+ climb

3 out of 5 stars Just a couple of moves

Only a few moves and then you are back to easy terrain. A yellow Alien protects the off the groud crux that probably isn't quite 5.9.

This route has a tough start, and my hat's off to Trisha for leading it (I seconded). Much easier holds after the first 1/3 of the climb.
