cool but short
There are some neat moves in the middle (pockets), but the top is kinda weird. Also, have seen lots of bees around this climb as of July, 2009.

nice warmup
Like a lot of routes down at Butcher's, this is one of my warm up routes. It's a fun climb, just gotta stay calm and work though the ending.
