This is a great route. It is pumpy but good. The start is a bit powerful and the top thins out just a bit.

Silly piton..
Great movement, nice boulder problem at the start. Safe clipping and great bolt placements. Skip the last for a better flow. But it's only as safe as your belayer- be smart.

great climb
This route is so much more fun on lead. Good holds all the way up, just pumpy. Great route.

Second Go
First was over a year ago. This route really is one of the few routes I would give more than 5 stars if it were possible. A variety of different holds and moves keeps things interesting, what seems like a pumpfest can be made easier with good footwork, but even so it's called Crankenstien for a reason.
As for the grade, I'd call it solid 11c. Considering that I don't remember any beta from when I got on it last year, today I essentially flashed it, after watching my buddy go up, and as much as I'd love an ego stroking I just don't flash 11d. Nevertheless this is a particularly excellent route.
