5 out of 5 stars Quite a mix

Climbed with Lauren and guide Ben. Super fun climb, plenty of gear. First climb I've ever enjoyed an off width section, all be it a very short section.

4 out of 5 stars On the way out

Set up a top rope on the way out. Would have been a scary awkward lead. Struggled my way to the top before dark.

2 out of 5 stars Did not like this

Managed to get all the way to the final moves, and wasn't feeling like this was much fun. Exit moves are not 5.5 unless you know where the hidden holds are around the corner. I didn't know where they were and managed to take a upside-down 15 footer onto a brown tri-cam. I survived with a little cut on my elbow. My helmet took the brunt of it, and the rope got a tiny core shot. I climbed back up and finished the climb, not fun..

3 out of 5 stars Another Sand bagged CT climb

Probably should be a 10, but its listed as a 9. Not a bad climb, but nothing to rush out here for. Glad I didn't lead it.

2 out of 5 stars Nothing special

Climbed this route thinking it was Flaming Arrow, and its not. Felt pretty hard but not enough to warrant a .10. Not much to say other than it was harder than it looked.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty sustained

Not a bad route at all. Very small crimps with one big jug to give you some hope at the beginning. Rating seemed pretty spot on too.

Onsight Onsight ascent by: breaksteel on 2009-09-07 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Recoding another

This time I did the full route and not the knights move exit crack end. The upper section isn't that run out at all. Glad I climbed it I almost didn't.

Calling this a on-sight cause I didn't ever climb the 2nd half of the route, but have climbed the lower half.

4 out of 5 stars Beware the 5.9+

I'm willing to bet this was rated when climbs only went to 5.10. This is got to be a 5.10a, I fell off it twice but did top out.

5 out of 5 stars Finally lead the 3rd pitch

Lead all three pitches with no issue at all. Crux was not as hard as I recall it being on top rope. Fun climb, would do it again.
