4 out of 5 stars Perfect Day For A Climb

Great climb, be sure to use the right anchors otherwise you get a pretty bad swing on lowering.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome day for a climb

P1 is lots of fun with plenty of places for pro. It takes a full 60m rope to do this pitch. Lots of variation, a very fun route. P2 is a bit runout, but if you have some small nuts you can protect it somewhat before you reach the bolt. Failure before your first piece would suck. P3 has only 1 spot for pro, but levels off so much that it doesn't matter. The next time I would belay each climber over to the tree at the base of the route. I think it would help with rope length, and rope drag on this route. Both were a concern. Also, an ascent note wouldn't be complete without a comment about the exposure. It's awesome!!!!!

4 out of 5 stars Great Day

I have climbed this route several times. This was my first time leading it. I like this route, but the second pitch is run out a bit until your first piece. It is an easy section, but if you blow it, it would suck. That's why I give this route a PG13.

4 out of 5 stars Fun Route with Variation

Climbed the 5.7 variation of this route. Tons of fun. I can see where the first bolt from the ground, and first bolt off the big ledge could be an issue. We set up a Top Rope on "Start the Car" and traversed over on a 12" ledge near the top. If you fall there is a bit of a swing. It's not too bad if you are ready for it.

4 out of 5 stars Just Plain Fun

Great fun route. To access the bolts I used a sling on the tree just above the bolts. I talked to an older gentelman there who knew the history very well. He said that hanger has been spinning for about 3 years, the other is a little loose too. They are still solid, and you could back it up with the tree above if you want; I did. The route was great, and several lines that are great options. Lots of chance to explore your own style of climbing and movement.

5 out of 5 stars First Lead

My first lead. Not too bad for the the first time. Once I got past the first pitch it was all good. The nerves settled, and it was great!

4 out of 5 stars Nice Climb

Sweet climb. The first few moves are a bear. After that it's smooth sailing. Still a solid climb though. It took me a while to get the moves past the first bolt. It was also sweet when it was done!

4 out of 5 stars Nice Fun Route

This is a nice route with lots of big moves. Some of the bigger holds are spread out, but if you like big moves this is a nice one. You could also work on the use of smaller holds as well if you are so inclined.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Route

A nice two pitch route. Lots of fun, and a great warmup before Tree Ledge. I gave it a PG-13 because it is a bit run out for the leader.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome climb

It dumped the rain as soon as we got there. We waited a few hours for the rock to dry, then had a great time. Wat awesome view. The route wasn't hard, mostly footwork. However, the fun factor is way up there!
