one of the funnest in chopping block
The difficulty is pretty sustained, no obvious crux. Worth the sore fingertips

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

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!
