4 out of 5 stars KFC

This route feels run out, and it is. But the harder parts are protected pretty good. The top crux is an easier move that it looks so try not to let the run out get to you.

3 out of 5 stars *

Decent warmup route to get your head on. For some reason the top traverse just below the chains was sketching me out a little bit, but it's solid.

5 out of 5 stars Kentucky Fried Chicken

I don't know why it is called Kentucky Fried Chicken, it reminds me nothing of Kentucky or Fried Chicken. But whatever it was fun.

3 out of 5 stars Long

Good route. Definitely very slabby at first. Not somewhere I would want to take someone for the first time. I don't know why people are saying that it's greasy, it was pretty clean for me. Maybe it's because it's early in the season. Also not a route for those in a group, or looking for a quicker climb, as it is a long route and shares chains with the only other route in the area.

I had to bust out the slab technique for some of this route.
