Warm-up
Nice route. I really enjoyed the crux moves. It was pumpy, but mostly because it was the first route of the day.

Easier than other 5.11a's a the New...
..but very fun. A defined crux down low followed by pumpy 5.10 climbing with long moves from jug to jug.

very fun route
a bit soft for the grade. No real technical or powerful moves. Pretty much jug to jug, with some longer moves. It gets the grade for fighting the pump

not sure what all the fuss is about
Good route, but not great. Warmed up on it and found it pumpy....maybe that's why I didn't think it was a classic.
