4 out of 5 stars Sustained and burly crux....

This is a fantastic climb. Felt more like a 5.10c to me. The gear is bomber and the movement is fun.

5 out of 5 stars _

apparently this used to be 5.9+ - sandbag! Nice varied climbing with a mix of face holds and jams. The crux is towards the top in the double cracks. Mostly green camelots (.75) and smaller gear. A couple other climbers told me this route is sometimes dirty but I found it to be clean with good climbing - just 15' of crap to plow through at the beginning.

3 out of 5 stars Warm up?

We forgot our guide books and I thought this was a 5.9; whoops! It did not go very well...need to do this again for sure.

5 out of 5 stars way tough

this thing is hard, way hard. i'd say its harder than Torpedo or Loose Lips....came damn close to blowing off up top! prolly the best .10 at the forks, though!

5 out of 5 stars hardddd

Wasn't this originally rated 5.9?? Great route: awkward, strenuous, varied. Even at 10C, a stout line. Question of the day: If somebody pointed a gun at your head and said you had to choose between soloing this route or the Prow (11A), which would you choose?

The obvious choice: The Prow.
