Beautiful route! Ever since my first time in the canyon this climb has called my name, but was always somewhat intimidating. The pro is all good, and the three nicely spaced bolts add some extra security to the route. Technical crux lower, physical crux higher.

back again, better this time
felt easier following it this time. probably only 5.10+. Technical crux at second bolt and endurance crux near the top. Also felt pretty clean this time. It's a worthy route.
