3 out of 5 stars Pie

Pretty easy, with a couple sections that are 5.7 to do, but feel harder to figure out. It's not a route you just walk up like most 5.7's

2 out of 5 stars Awkward

Not my favorite. Steep and awkward, the gear placement was not straight forward and there were two cruxes--one up high and one down low. Seemed like a lot of 5.7 to me (even more than White Lightening). I can't remember the last time I've had to sit down on a 7 climb.

4 out of 5 stars Hmm

Seemed like a lot of 5.7 due to steepness and gear that was not quite slamdunk. Good route that is nice and sustained.
