Thin but fun
I also had no idea what it was when I jumped on it. Was thin and delicate, but not so heady I was spooked. Bolts are indeed well placed and overall a pretty good route. Had to hang once when I was too far right near second to last bolt. Just couldn't figure out how to move back left when I got off route a bit. Otherwise would have been an onsight. My first sport lead at 5.11c. I had guessed it at 5.10c until Aiden showed up and informed me he thought it was 5.11c. Sorta made my day!

fun but manufactured route
very thin in the middle and definately harder than it looks. Aggressive "cleaning" of the route by breaking away plates creates the edges that make this route possible and, in this sense, it is at its essence a manufactured route. Doesn't necessarily detract from the fun to be had, but disappointing to the extent it is done here. For what its worth.........

Cool Route
This is a very thin route that will test your trust in your FEET. The route is well bolted so it's worth a try.
