4 out of 5 stars Super fun

I had led this before, but unlike last time, this time it felt casual. The 5.8 climbing to the crux is really good, and the crux is short.

5 out of 5 stars pumpy fun!

Really tiring at the end of the day, but loads of steep fun! Roof move was hard, but the holds were big and only got bigger.

4 out of 5 stars moore's classic

fun route with one real 5.10 move. Starts with good 5.8 climbing. Kind of a long move off of a pinch/fingerlock/side pull (depending on how you grab it!) to a intermediate and then bump to a big hold.
