4 out of 5 stars .

Fun route, good mix of techniques. First 15 feet climb more like a boulder problem, great pro. Face at the top has good holds if you figure out how to use them right, which sometimes isn't obvious. Crux on lead is probably going from the face holds to the lieback flake down low, a great climb!
