Description:
This route goes at 5.8+, but is still a very serious undertaking, lace this thing up so you don't end up taking a grounder, others have. A great way to pass slow parties on Midway

Pretty steep for a 5.8 - but great climb and solid holds
Everyone seems to agree - a stiff 5.8, if not more appropriately a 5.9. Great route that protects well, and while steep and overhanging at times, there are great positive holds. Belay bolts are up on top - shared with Midway (and most every route on Jell-O Tower)

wonderful route... now I need to hurl...
One of my friends called this route "one of the world's most difficult 5.8s" - It was legitimately a tough lead for me, but super fun once figuring out the sequence off the deck. Nice a steep, but not terribly overhung.

Great moderate line up an imposing face. Plenty of gear and jugs!

Was a great climb to end the day! More than once the gravity god tried to pull.
