Tougher than 10a
Thought this was tougher than a 10a. Beginning isnt too bad but the last 2-3 bolts is pretty steep climbing over the budging pillar top. Tougher than any of the other 10a's in this area.

Cleared For Take Off
Steeper than it looks, "The Barkley" will hold your attention to the very end. Excellent protection, a great variety of holds and an exciting finish. Well worth the hike up to The Upper Tier to do along with the other new moderates in this often overlooked area.
