4 out of 5 stars Good route

First pitch was challenging for the given 5.6 rating. I found it more challenging than the 3d pitch 5.7 "crux". All pitches were excellent.

5 out of 5 stars fantastic

Extremely fun route, if a little soft at the grade. Just keep reaching up, there is a jug!

4 out of 5 stars Surprisingly exposed

The 1st pitch has a good exposure level even though it doesn't appear that way from the ground. The "right to an arete" direction in the book means dead right from the belay. If you try to go straight up from the belay it looks 5.10ish and PG13. The gear on this route is not G, you should feel comfortable leading at the grade.
