3 out of 5 stars Fun

Super fun, easy to protect. Probably more difficult than the 10a to the left on this wall; Ball Bearing.

2 out of 5 stars Soft for J tree

I just kept waiting for a 5.10 move.... it never happened. Felt like a stiff 5.8 sport route. Gear is pretty useless on this route. The horizontals will keep you from doing a combat roll and protecting the top is unnecessary if you can make it through the midway point of the climb. The down climb is almost as hard.

3 out of 5 stars Fun moves

I left this route alone for about a year. Came back and the thing went so smoth I wish I could rename it Butter.

Nice ascent Byran.

I do think that there are lower grade climbs that are just as hard other places though... So maybe its soft?

The description said crimpy too.. Where were those.. every thing is incut or small pocket?

3 out of 5 stars Lots of soft fun!

This thing seems ridiculously over rated. It is a V4 dyno -if that. This doesn't mean it wasn't super fun. It definitely was worth doing, but not a V5.
