4 out of 5 stars Fun roof

Fun first moves to get over the roof. Very reachy for people around 5' tall. Much easier for me at 6' 3". The best heel hook I've ever laid down was on this route.

4 out of 5 stars Great climb

So far this is the best 10a I've been on in the area. The moves are 10a, but the fact that it is sustained 10a moves for 20 feet will make some believe it's harder. Overall a great climb with crimps galore. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Great climb

The crux is very thin, so it forces you to commit to the moves. A great climb for any leader moving into the 5.10's.

4 out of 5 stars Not bad

Good route. When I was at the crux some 20mph gusts of wind bothered me, but I was able to finish strong.

3 out of 5 stars Easy, break into the 10's

A pretty easy climb. A good first for any beginner trying to onsight a 10a. I actually think it's closer to 5.9/5.9+. The anchor placement is an arm's reach and awkward for some.

4 out of 5 stars Great route

A great long climb. Plenty of rest ledges throughout. The crux is right before the anchors, making it a little more exposed than other climbs at the quarry. Overall a very fun route to lead.

3 out of 5 stars A good warmup

This is about as good of a warmup as you'll find at the Quarry. A good first redpoint for aspiring 10 climbers.

3 out of 5 stars An easier 11a

I don't think this route is worthy of an 11a rating. Although as someone else said, it could be height dependent. Otherwise a very interesting route, with the right beta the crux becomes very easy. This is a good practice route for some liebacking on the flakes.
