3 stars! super fun, varied, bolted just right, on the tough side for the grade, yay!!!

great line! bouldery start with thin slabby moves higher up, lovely!

a perfect day, mandy's first multi-pitch climb, my first multi-pitch route leading all pitches, a few fun moves and lots of exposed scrambling on beautiful granite overlooking a lovely valley. life is good...

Climbed this with Nathaniel Ross, who I met on RC.com, he had good experience at Idyllwild and leading elsewhere, nearly an epic: we waited in line to start, then assisted two incompetent middle-aged guys down from the top of the first pitch, the jam crack pitch was gorgeous, but then we got off route as I was leading above that on to some nasty terrain that was unexpectedly hard, Nathaniel got some bad rope drag going on a short pitch, had some shitty hanging belay on little aliens, finally made it up to an easy gully to the top just as it was getting too dark to climb easily, stumbled our way down the north gully descent in pitch dark, and then got really lucky to find our packs at the base, got back to the car finally at like nearly 11:00pm just over 12 hours after we started with a liter of water and a granola bar for both of us....long day, nice crack, though.

did it as toprope first, then highballed it, nice crack system, lots of variations possible, I actually like the view from up on Rubidoux

did as toperope first, then highball boulder problem, nice rock, plenty of features, just enough exposure to be exhilirating

seemed awful hard for a 5.8! took a few tries but I finally redpointed it. nice rock, nice spot, sketchy bolts for anchors

did this first as a top rope, then soloed up and down, nice intro for me to fist jamming, but with other features available, would be a nasty fall.

not too high, but nasty fall makes it seem sketchy, one of my first real highball onsights where jams were necessary.

Very nice, well-protected, and mildly interesting climb
