3 out of 5 stars Good 5.9, couple strong moves and straight forward

There is no stake in the ground anymore, just recognize it off of the dyhedral and bolts that follow under it. Some decently strong 5.9 moves warrant the + if you have not climbed in a while. Little more strength required for this route than Herbal Essence second route to its left. I will definitely climb this again.

3 out of 5 stars Good Turned Bad

I heard great things about this route but no beta. While climbing i noticed an X on a rock at the crux. Loose rock always hurts the quality of climbs and in this case made it a bit harder... but it was fun nonetheless.

Second Second ascent by: elizaclimb on 2010-10-05 (View Climbing Log)

3 out of 5 stars First Impressions

Hard for the grade, or just awkward or i've been climbing in Boulder Canyon too long. Tried to OS, crux shut me down. Followed Paavo and made it clean on TR
