4 out of 5 stars creak

The top of the huge flake seems like it's about to break off. Heard it creaking, but I am a large person.

4 out of 5 stars end of the day

There's a tricky bit at the top, but not too challenging. I had cold fingers though, and some of the fingers are pretty thin. It's actually pretty nice.

3 out of 5 stars friction

parts of this are pure friction, which is okay because the rock is super bumpy, like -5 grit sandpaper, and about 75 degrees.

4 out of 5 stars scramble?

I'd say the approach isn't a scramble if you come from the right side, it's more of a 5.2 that's about 10 feet long. There's a fixed rope on the left side, though it was soaked over there. We feel that this is maybe above a .6, but whatever.

5 out of 5 stars thanks Bryce

Great climb. totally classic. I have never hurt my fingers in that way before. It's a lot harder if your fingers are thick, like mine are, as you will have nothing to put in the tiny crack at the start.
