4 out of 5 stars Fun lead - and a solid rating

I think this is one of the most appropriately rated routes and I would say every move is about a 5.8, very consitent and fun.

3 out of 5 stars I don't know about easiest, but it is fun

I climbed this route and a couple of 10b's and I thought this route was bit more challenging. The moves are thin on the face with the crux being moving from the first to the second bolt. The first bolt is questionable, I wouldn't want to take a fall on it.

3 out of 5 stars seems like a 5.9 now

After a few months of climbing I returned to do this route and I would say 5.9+, it is easier than Geurilla Drilla and that is a 5.10a. The arete is a bit chossy and I recommend not using the bolts and anchors at the top of this climb as the rock surrounding them doesn't look too sound.

3 out of 5 stars One move from an onsite...dammit.

I had to take a break before clipping and missed the onsight. The route is pretty much as described and the top is the only really challenging part.

3 out of 5 stars A bit challenging for me, but fun.

This one is a bit pumpy and reachy for me, but like all the rest of the routes on this face...FUN!

3 out of 5 stars Nice move pulling the blind bulge at the top

This is a great warm-up route for the rest of this wall. Pretty straight-forward climbing with a fun and slightly more challenging move at the top.

4 out of 5 stars What a great climb

This is a great introduction to this area, a fun climb with only one or two "challenging" parts at the 5th and 6th bolts. The hand holds are pretty bomber everywhere and I think a red point is a certain if you miss something trying to onsight it. I had a tough time clipping the 5th bolt and would have flashed the route if I would have just skipped it, but...

3 out of 5 stars Fun warm-up for gorgeous

The first couple of moves are the hardest and then after the first bolt the route is cruiser. A great view up the creek from the top, take a camera or you'll have to bring it up on lap two like I did.

3 out of 5 stars fun route - liked jack be nimble a bit better

That route was a bit longer, but both are pretty much the same experience. Next time I visit these will be my warm-up routes.

3 out of 5 stars Fun route with lots of clips.

I think this is a bit easier than rated, but a fun climb at any rate. Watch pulling your rope on this climb, mine got hungup about 25 feet up the wall. These are easy leads with a cruxy move at the anchor.
