3 out of 5 stars Decent climb

Fun and somewhat steep for the rating. If you want to do it in 1 pitch, bring slings as rope drag can be a pain

4 out of 5 stars one pitch

this is easily done in one long pitch (as long as you don't do the 5.6 start)

the fixed cam below the roof is still there, i worked on it for a little while but the sun was setting so i moved on.

3 out of 5 stars still newbie

wasn't an onsight, but still managed to make it much more difficult than it had to be. All in all good fun though, solid, fun moves all the way up.

4 out of 5 stars Steep your tea

Started in the bottom section below the boulder. Start seemed much harder than 5.5. One of the steepest 5.5's that i have climbed, but everything is there when you need it.
