4 out of 5 stars Haystack

Never did the first pitch (Did preparation H instead) but finished this route. The climb was fun, but I think easier than I prefer. It had one section of 5.8ish, climbing, but that is about all. The rest was kind of a glorified Hike.

I still highly recommend it to those new at leading 5.8!

4 out of 5 stars popular route

definitely has the crowds to prove it. The route is a one move wonder at the roof, everything else is low angled fingers that you can just run up.
