4 out of 5 stars No Comment

So yeah it's a fun climb. Def a difficult TR. It took 2 days of honest effort to pull it clean. Next time I try it I might not be so lucky. It's that kinda route. I've got everything but the last move dialed, but I could still come off on any given move from the bottom up. It's got tough hands and small feet. I'm over 6' tall so can skip at least 3 moves and it's still a really tough climb. Would be brutal in the heat and humidity of summer.

5 out of 5 stars Tough Lead

I wasn't sure I could do it, but that's half the fun. Good gear and a couple pretty good rests, but not a fluffy 5.10 lead at all. I kept thinking I was through the crux, but she kept coming at me. Really happy to have done it. Gonna try the Venom link up next time.

3 out of 5 stars Tricky Start

Came off a couple times at the crux 1st move. There are more interesting (and harder) variations a bit right of the regular line. You have to pick and choose holds a little bit, but still interesting.

3 out of 5 stars Fun Line

Prob not the 1st person to ever get on this, but it hasn't been claimed anywhere that I know of so Blunt Force Trauma it is. The grade might feel a bit sandbag to climbers under 6ft. Jump on it and let me know what you think.

Hard little climb. I tried it 5 or 6 times before I got it.

5 out of 5 stars Yipeeeee

I've wanted to climb this since the first day I ever climbed trad. My buddy Pat suggested it my first time out (he was leading all pitches), but I was too scared so we did Marshalls instead.

Fantastic lead. My best yet.

3 out of 5 stars Joke of a 5.9

Really easy lead for 5.9, but it's fun.

I had climbed this with a buddy a few years previous, but couldn't remember much about the route.

4 out of 5 stars Run Rabbit

Great gear until just after the overhang with lots of good stances to place it from. I got a couple pieces in after the hang (#5 or 6 BD nut and #2 Metolius TCU), but they were not inspiring. The last 25-30ft. before you reach the ledge is run out with no gear opportunities, but the climbing is very easy here (5.4). Don't underestimate this route though. If you are not a solid 5.7 leader this route might give you trouble. Make sure you save a #2 BD cam (or equivalent) for the overhang. You can also get a good hex in (red wild country) or even some 4" gear could work, but that's a lot of hassle.
