Description:
3 bolt face with pockets and edges. 2 bolt rap. Everyone I know who has climbed it says it is more difficult than the rating suggest. Perhaps some holds have broken off, which is common in Queen Creek.

nice
way harder than rating suggests. i had an easier time with the 8s and 9s in this area than this route. after the first bolt(which i suggest a stick clip for) it feels more like a 5.6

Unknown Climb
This is a beautiful area. We climbed the Unknown Climb to the right of Ol Solo Meo, but that climb is not listed here. I lead it. It is listed as a 5.7+. It was harder than that for me, probably because I was super tired and super sore fingers don't work very well in the sloped pockets. The pockets make great feet though. I even went inverted on a traverse fall from above my protection.

Good Fun!
Alot of good fun even at 38 degrees with the wind blowing. Rock was cold and hands were numb but still a great climb!
