Absolutely classic!
The original Jim Waugh guide calls it 5.8, the ultimate sandbag!! Still stiff at 5.9, its an awesome route! Every pitch is classic, up to the tunnel through to the summit!

Beautiful magnolia thunderpussy
First time on this route....seconded first pitch...lead third...solid rock...fantastic pro...go right on roof on the first pitch...great hand crack with good feet....thought the section below the roof was the crux....the third pitch seems so improbable, yet goes...look down and out when you are liebacking around the flake!! ( take a 4 cam)...fantastic...yeah a hard 9 rating is fair....coke bottle rap station is about 100 yards to the east, along edge...cant see em till you wander out to edge just past the great roof area...look for a carin (if youre lucky)..and they are out off the edge from there ( a little to the east)...have you jams down.... do it.... ; )
