Very awesome 5.10a
This climb is excellent, but you have to keep your cool, it gets heady, you feel exposed, you kinda are...

Top Rope ascent by:
Classic!
One of my favorite climbs in the entire area. I thought the 5.9+ rating was a little stiff, but as are most ratings in this area. Crystal crimping the entire way. Sent on top rope. Highly recommended!
