Description:
Not even close to a walk-up if you've been weaned on sport and gym climbing. Eats pro but is awkward in spots. You may or may not love the obvious OW pod in the middle. Either build a natural anchor at the top of p1 and move to the climbers left to rap off of the Sherrie's Crack rap anchor's or continue up the second pitch and rather than rapping off the old anchor at the top, move right a few feet along a ledge and rap off of the Book 'em, Dano shuts.

Steep!
SuperTopo says steepest 5.8 in the Valley and that could be right. A few awkward spots, my wife hated it :)

I disagree
About it being better than Bishop's Terrace but it is fun. We combined P1&2. Great surprise mantle move towards the end. Definitely not a gimme climb

I am going to say it
this climb is better than Bishop's Terrace in terms of a long 5.8. Wild climbing throughout including the well protected mantle towards the top (technically the 2nd pitch of Knob Job but c'mon which climb is it really?). Highly recommended, just watch yourself down low where there are a few thinking moves
