3 out of 5 stars One of Reimer's Best

It's really a blast of a route. No matter what grade I'm climbing that week, I always take the time off a project to cruise this route. It's almost a traditional first route every time we go.

4 out of 5 stars Classic.

Great warm-up route (and downclimb) with fun movement. Good luck finding this one empty on the weekends.

4 out of 5 stars Sucks when wet

I led it right after a rain and the whole thing was soaked. It was a rather scary experience as the normally good holds become quite tenuous.
