5 out of 5 stars Beautiful Crack

I thuroughly enjoyed this climb, no real crux, ample pro equals great beginner's crack.

4 out of 5 stars Favorite crack yet

I sill don't like cracks a whole lot, but I really enjoyed this one. Grade might be a little soft, accept for the traverse move up high. That may be where it gets the 5.8 rating.

3 out of 5 stars Fun route

Fun climb and traverse, nut stuck in the lower crack, got to stand in the final crack for a minute or two when I turned out my partner had only intended a few seconds pause when he said "wait". Always ask.
