4 out of 5 stars Style dependent

This was my third 12 and it was certainly the easiest, took me around 4 tries over a period of just as many weeks. It definitely rewards those who have that extra bouldering strength but that doesn't meany it's underrated. It's essentially some easy 5.8 climbing up to a V3-V4 boulder problem, depending on your height. Skipping the final bolt makes things easier.
