Good but lots of lichen
Fun route with neat crux. Crux is well protected but don't fall exiting the traverse. Lots of lichen in the upper slab section but relatively easy. Good route.

Great Route!
This route is very high quality with interesting moves on good rock. Super addition to the cliff. The crux moves are quite challenging.
I believe the traverse is to the right past the first bolt and not to the left as the route description says.
