Great
Fun route. Bolts are all 1/4 buttonheads, some are spinners. Anchor is solid.

Nice
Enjoyable route. Well protected and no need for trad gear. The 60m rope is definitely necessary.
Side note: We were surprised how far you need to hike up the talus slope before getting to the crag.

Good name for a route
Thin start to a nice upper face. Good climbing, but not varied enough to really keep it interesting. I'd do it again, but doing the second pitch to the top would make this very worthwhile. No TCU needed. This is a sport route (& perfectly safe w/o additional pro).

smooth
first 30' gets you pumped. Sustained 5.8 but has quite a bunch of tricky moves. Would place this more as a 5.9
