5 out of 5 stars Poor eyesight?

This is an interesting route, especially for the massive contingent of SE climbers who have not climbed cracks before (heh, heh, heh). Route is short (I only used 3 pieces)..but can be unnecessarily pumpy at the top crack if you go at it wrong (I did, fell once). Also? I didn't see any anchors at the top, and so had to traverse right to the top of "Cruise This" to get off. Really fun moves though, but lack of anchor at top was interesting on the slopers.
