5 out of 5 stars Never Lets Up

Great route, pretty damn pumpy. I kept expecting it to ease off, but it never did til near the top. The crux for me was getting established in the big crack above the thinner starting crack. Think I set a personal record for number of placements: 17 pieces (18 if you count the one I used to protect the start and then back-cleaned). I ran out of slings and had to break out my emergency prussiks to extend some placements.

Highly recommended for a solid 5.8 leader!

3 out of 5 stars Easy beta and bad beta

Someday... some freakin day in the near future I will get the red point. I've backed off twice now. After being defeated I followed somebody.. stout climb. Son of a gun I will tick it soon enough.

4 out of 5 stars none

Pumpy, less than obviouse route finding and gear placements will keep you thinking if your trad lead limit is 5.8.
