2 out of 5 stars janky ass bolts

The crux bolt is the worst. A tricky start to some decent climbing then a preplexing crux. A bit sandbagged at .11a.
Short, maybe 35 ft.

3 out of 5 stars Fun

I climbed this years ago and just did it again. The route has some hard moves on it and the crux bolt is certainly suspect, but overall a fun climb.
