3 out of 5 stars just enough...

...gear at the start, but don't pass a placement through the bottom cruxy section or you could end up back on the ledge. After the initial crux it eases back considerably.

4 out of 5 stars ran out of rope!

Just a tad short for our rope (70m) to do in one pitch b/c of traverse move instead of going over the 'bulge'. Thankfully our leader new what to do up there!

5 out of 5 stars Thin and Exciting

Beginning is where all the excitement is at. The feet are small and crack is barely there. Definitely runout after the first piece of gear. The rest of the route was very easy, especially if you are tall for the upper crack. Did this in one pitch with a 60m. Rope drag wasn't that bad.

5 out of 5 stars Took Forever

Climbed the first crack with the thin moves and set up a belay in Jemini crack. Got my gear back from when I sewed it up, and got back to the right to finish out the rest of the climb in one ropelength.

4 out of 5 stars More like 5.9 off the deck

The opening moves on this one are more like 5.9 and thin on gear, but it eases up considerably after 30 feet or so. Danny led it in one pitch. Great climb!

4 out of 5 stars zodiac

definitely thought the crux moves were right off the ground and hard to protect, climbing it in one pitch takes a good amount of slings, i had to run out the last easy section
