4 out of 5 stars Excellent crack

Redpointed this as a freeclimb. I rate it around 12c so 12+ is probably more reasonable. Protects well with a double set of cams to 0.75 Camelot and singles beyond that. A couple great nut placements can be found low on the crux pitch. A large cam for the OW is optional. There are smaller placements deeper inside. A stellor route! Congrats to the FA and FFa teams on finding and sending this gem.

4 out of 5 stars Woof woof

I hung all over the top. It is strenuous and beyond me. I heard Rodman lead it clean and it may be 13. He should know.

4 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

Grade V, 90ft! Spent the whole day on this: awesome strenuous climbing the whole way. We tag-teamed the FA, lowering off once we took a fall then climbing the route to the last high point and pushing it further. At this point we've yet to do it w/o aid but I expect it will go down in the mid to upper 5.12 range.
07/07 heard report that an free ascent was completed and rated it at 12d...
