Haven't done this route, but I've heard it's a good quality, moderate old school adventure up a long corner system. The route has a bit of an approach and faces south. Current rating: IV 5.9 A1

Is that a secular school?
Not all the belays bolted perhaps?
When Ed first did Primrose he gave it a V. THAT was maybe old school.
But calling a dihedral with a 5" roof crack close to twice the height of Moses that also has one of the longest approaches in the main canyon a IV might be a sandbag unless you're fast.
We (Danny Farber, Andy Walker and myself with support from Pat Miller) had the benefit of my familiarity with the rock's first ascent route which I had done with Kent Stephens two years prior in '79. It served as the descent.
And we skipped the summit.
And with Pat's help fixed 100m.
Gotta wonder if you're done...so much easier when its not muzzle to muzzle...
