5 out of 5 stars Excellent, steep, balanced throughout

Great steep jughaul with a nice headgame over the last bolt. Way harder than Prototype (10c), so I think EQ is low thinking 10c-d. Factoring in the rest, it's a really short route, but the pump builds fast. I was just on Blowing Smoke (11a) and can see this route is comparable.

4 out of 5 stars some traversing exposure

nice natural line that tops out where the roof meets the vertical wall. My guess after climbing it was 5.10d-11a. Mild power, footwork, core and arms.
