Description:

Awesome start on a steep overhang. [I've downgraded from 11b (which was an upgrade from Kirk's original 10+) to 11a on the spread of opinions ranging 10c/d-11b and on a recent send by a new climber who'd not ever sent higher than 10c. Maybe he was in the zone. Having just done Prototype 10c, it's hard to imagine this is 10d.]

5 out of 5 stars *

Probably an 11a, could be height dependent. Really sweet route though. Totally deserves a 5 star rating!

5 out of 5 stars Onsight

So fun I could climb it all day long!

Easy to read the whole route from the ground, it's not very tricky which makes it seem easy, but I'd say 5.11-. It's just a little bit too tough for a 10d. 11a? 11b? hard to hash the difference.

5 out of 5 stars One of my favorites

Great route, but certainly not 11b in my opinion...at most an 11a

5 out of 5 stars finally redpoint

Never projected it. Tough onsight; other than Karl, most people flail and have to assemble their beta. There are a few ways to solve it. Rona has to fight up small holds whereas I use nothing but jugs and a couple minor bad holds. Rating is probably height-dependent 5.11a/5.11b(or worse). Dirty ledge: bring your brush and clean it for the rest of us!
