Start directly below 1st bolt for a true 11+ experience, otherwise traversing in from the left never allows the climb to reach true 11 status in my book. Old guidebook rates it at 10d, which I would concur with. Very fun line, features and moves that rivals all of quartz. Although short, this climb is truely 4 stars. May have to lead next time Im up that way.

Redpointed this baby after two or three previous topropes; cool-ass route! I'll be on this one again, and again. Wild, balancy and inobvious moves -traverse in is do-able but no gimme, either. Look forward to direct-starting it someday. This was my first 10d redpoint that really deserves the rating. (Dec 2005 entry after first go): opted for the left-side start following sean's clean lead; took 2 hangs that I'm now pissed about. Wish I'd been more pissed at the time - typical headgame of mine. Gettin' better. (More 11/07 comments: that was exactly right! I wanted it more, and I got it. Not the only difference, but a significant one)

indirect traverse start. Even then the climbing felt more mid 10ish. Still a very fun route.
