Description:

Very good route for the grade. Mostly face climbing with a small crack near the first bolt to the right of Portent by a few steps. 3 bolt belay at the top and you can rap off with 60 meter rope. -- (rapped it today with a 55 meter rope)

Careful clipping second bolt, groundfall if you fall clipping-1 accident in the 90's. Fun route!

5 out of 5 stars Second outdoor climb ever!

What a beautiful climb. I was blinded by the noon sun as I came over the mantle, but everything past that move was smooth sailing. Loved it!

Nice mantel crux. Otherwise the climbing is straightforward. Well protected all the way.

4 out of 5 stars Looks harder

Looks harder than it is. Huge jugs pull you over the buldges and overhung sections. Actually, huge jugs the whole way. It's more of an endurance route than anything with powerful moves. Steep for 5.9 but the grade's about right.
