5 out of 5 stars great route

scary first clip. Take the rests between smaller edges and pockets. Last couple bolts are a sprint to good holds at the anchor.

3 out of 5 stars one tough spot

Easy, fun start, then I took several short falls at what I thought was the crux (second or third bolt) Working out the beta there makes it send-able for the grade. Good rock. Thinner, but all there towards the top.

Harder than most for the grade, but good rock etc. Worth the effort.

4 out of 5 stars reachy

Reachy moving past the first bolt. A little beta goes a long way here.

5 out of 5 stars get past the start

The start is definitely the most powerful part of the route -- really unlike the rest. It's super fun and full of fun edges to grab. If your friends can't swing the start move boost them past it. You don't want to miss it.

4 out of 5 stars Thin, but all there.

Balance and move through the first two bolts. Techy footwork in the dihedral. Well protected and easy clipping except for the second bolt, which I thought was heady and thin. I really liked the style.
