5 out of 5 stars Excellent Variety

This route is well worth doing because the variety of climbing includes a bouldery crux at the start, followed by a very good rest, and a pumpy finish on decent holds to finish the climb.

I thought this route was a hard 5.12a/easier 5.12b

4 out of 5 stars Deflower Power

This route came together nicely for me. It was a surprise to send it on my third try. The crux was figuring out how to pull the bulge boulder problem at the start. After that its pump management to the anchors.

Most recommend stick clipping the 2nd bolt which is quite difficult from the ground. Bring someone tall with you.

4 out of 5 stars *

Fun, obvious, straightforward route. Should have onsighted but waited around too long and got pumped out by the last bolt. Sent second go. The beginning boulder problem is the crux for sure but it's not as hard as the bouldering found at the end of Mario's or the beginning of Yertle. The whole route is consistent and pumpy throughout.
