5 out of 5 stars Yada Yada

I barely could enjoy it. Tough climb. I almost fell a couple times. Took about everyting I had, but I got it clean. I had taken a few pics of it several months earlier and looked over them a few times getting an idea of the route so only get the flash on this one.

Felt harder than Pollux, but I was in better shape when I led Pollux so there ya go.

4 out of 5 stars Surprise Surprise

A friend of mine roped it up so I figured I might as well try it. To my surprise I sent it.

5 out of 5 stars Bring on the fun

Yes, 1st pitch is great. There is a bit of loose rock and I had to run it out a bit on small gear, but the climbing there is no harder than 5.7. 2nd pitch was incredible!! Took a couple falls at the crux before I found the hidden hold - maybe I'll post the video. You can climb yourself into a jam if you can't find it and don't get suckered into the very thin seam on the right side at the crux. Anyway one of my most memorable leads.

3 out of 5 stars Brrrrrrr

This was the last climb of the day and I was getting pretty cold. It would be a fun climb in the fall or spring, but with all the windchill today I was over it.

5 out of 5 stars Smeary

I found myself wanting better feet, but it wasn't too bad overall. The gear was great. The weather was perfect - 35 (approx) and sunny! Practically t-shirt weather. Gets chilly when the sun drops though.

5 out of 5 stars Hang Doggie

I got one easy move and 1ft. from the top and ran out of gas. Took a quick hang and finished it off. It was pretty cold and I was still spent from a hard day at Sportrock yesterday so going back this week, maybe tomorrow to get it clean.

4 out of 5 stars Top Rope

Like all the other climbs here it is much softer than the given grade. Definitely not 11a. Maybe 10b at the roof, but even that is probably generous. Very fun climb though and certainly sustained overhung climbing for 65ft. 2 good bolts after the overhang, a bit spread out (15ft) but not crazy runout. You could get several good small cams (yellow metolius) in the crack splitting the roof where this routes follows so it would be a reasonable lead. Maybe next time I'll start here and lead it instead of ending the day on a TR. Good fun. Def get on it. Don't let the 11a rating scare you off.
