4 out of 5 stars fun

a victim of downgrading to 5.11. Although everything is 5.11 if you climb it once a week for years. really cool route, I wish it was twice as long!

4 out of 5 stars Yertle squirtle

10APR2009: went through all of the moves on TR... eventually.

11APR2009: two falls on TR. still sore from the day prior, I got to the 3rd bolt before popping off and then past the sloper and popped off once more.

11NOV2009: I'm back. Led it for the first time. Worked on my sequence until fingers were raw. I see this one going soon.

4 out of 5 stars Yertle is one hell of a Turtle!

Good, hard crimping, 2 finger pockets, tweekie side pulls, slopes, then finally a jug at the top.
Great climb, worth the work!
