2 out of 5 stars Doesn't deserve 5 stars... more like three.

just a steep ladder and much worse than the other 5 star 11b's in the gorge... not a good example of a high rated route. If you're tall you will walk it like a 10. if you are short the polished intermediates will make this route suck. either way not cool.

4 out of 5 stars :)

Sweet climb. Pretty pumpy, with slopers to finish.
