4 out of 5 stars interesting

Consistent thin climbing and engaging. Lead P1 after a TR last visit. Quite far between bolts, I thought I'd be able to get a micro stopper midway between bolt 1 and 2 but I wasn't able to slide the cable through the opening at the bottom. As such, there was quite a runout between bolts 1-2 and 2-3 which would yield quite a long scary fall when near clipping in both instances. Still, the holds are big enough to enable careful consideration before committing to a potential large fall. Hadn't wanted to try this before on the old bolts, but the new ones are nice and shiny and the rap rings make for a vast improvement over the rat's nest that used to live on the anchor hangers.

5 out of 5 stars Balancy, Thin, Slabby

Good route, very balancy, thin, crimpy, and slabby. Not hard. Optional roof finish puts it at 5.11-, once you pass bolt on roof it's all trad gear from there!

3 out of 5 stars Fun, funky, crimpy climbing

The easiest line was not the original. The most aesthetic line goes left of 2nd bolt then straight up to 3rd. To the right or further left are better holds, easier climbing. Sling a gully tree for a first piece. There's an okay microstopper just down and right of 2nd bolt and a shallow nut between next two bolts. The 3/8" button heads are pretty brown.
