A hidden classic, surprisingly few people do this route. The old Handren guide climbs the route as described, and I did the same, with pitches rated .10b, .10b, .6. The first pitch did feel a touch harder than the longer and more enjoyable second pitch, but I sure would not go at .10d.

Nice HARD line for the grade. First, 40', pitch is called 10D not B and is all of that. The second half of the climb (to the final Retaliation belay) is graded 9+ which I think is a bit of a sand-bag - maybe 10A?

Better than it may appear. Well worth climbing.
