Description:

With a sustained (fist) crux up high, this climb has spit off many climbers comfortable on most 8s. Has three different variations for finishing; left up the ramp (easy), left up ramp to iffy 5.8 face climbing, or the Old Crow finish which is left up the ramp for about 20 ft., then a 5.9 20 ft. hand traverse right (2 pins) and a 10ish deadpoint to finally get off the wall!

Fun route, wet start, #4 Camelot give you some piece of mind near the old piton, but not mandatory.

4 out of 5 stars awesome route

but friggin' sandbagged. if it's harder than 5.8.. then it shouldn't be rated 5.8. meh. it's still an amazing route!
