Description:

Climb past small cave to overhanging face. Excellent route. Texas Climbers has it as a 5.9 - I haven't climbed it yet, so don't have an opinion.

Onsight Onsight ascent by: kvochatzer on 2009-10-01 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars great warm up on super positive rock

really was a gem of a climb out there all by itself about 30 feet left of the Serpent Wall. very positive holds. can go up the left side or the right side for a very different variation. i lead both sides and really enjoyed it.

Limestoner committee has this as a 5.10-. Seems deserving to me compared to others rated that grade at Dead Cats nearby.

4 out of 5 stars Now a Reimer's Fav.

My first time on this wall, and I loved this route. I hate overhangs, but enjoyed this one despite missing the onsight. I will have to go back for the redpoint.
