5 out of 5 stars Balsy first move.

After onsighting my first 5.9 lead, Send me on my way, I did the direct start of this. Awesome!!! Leaned back with right hand over left, then smack left hand onto a slopey crimper rail, then dyno out to a bucket jub right above the first bolt. Though I didn't, I highly advise stick clipping the first bolt. The rest of the route is so so.

3 out of 5 stars boulder time.

Decent 5.9 climb. Once past the bouldery start, use hidden pockets and positive holds on arete to finish.

3 out of 5 stars Not my favorite.

The direct start is exciting. The rest felt awkward. I wouldn't recommend this climb.
