Description:

A good route, but full of loose rock. A lot of the sharp stuff to start followed by the meat of the route on the face and ending on a bit of tricky blocks. I really enjoyed this route.

Descent Options:

Rappel.

4 out of 5 stars Neurotic Vulture, 5.10b

I was happy to lead this route. Almost blew off the rock a couple times, once when a good hand hold came off. May be a 5.10b, but felt much stiffer than the neighboring route Rope Snatcher (5.10a/b).
