3 out of 5 stars Exposed up in the aerie

This route is about 80' long, so bring a full 60-meter rope. It cannot be top-roped. It only has five bolts, and there is a 15-20' run-out through some 5.4 climbing in the middle. Still very scary. After your next clip, you have to high-step or heel-hook up over a ledge, where there is often a bird nest. This move, along with the bouldery start, make it feel much more like a 5.8. The anchor is in a position where you can easily rest and enjoy the view.

a Big space between bolts about halfway up make this a little scarier to climb than it otherwise would have been.
