This route is very, very cool. The climbing is varied and makes you think on your feet.

Interesting route. I felt that it was a bit runout going to the 3rd bolt.

I led this route battling the demons that place butterflies in the tummy. Instead of bolt and then big move this route is big move then bolt. Look for the top anchors above and far right. Their placement makes a hell of a lot of rope drag after the route is topped. Best to rap down. I loved this climb. It is well worth the walk to do it again.

What a unique line. Very difficult onsight for a 5.10. Makes you think and will twist your stomach into a knot once or twice.

A difficult onsight for 10b, but I didn't like the climbing much at all. But I hate arete climbs. There's much better 10's at Pebble.

This is a great route and is not a difficult onsight if you look around. Two huge no hands rests and only one tricky move. A lot of fun. Quite funny that first moment when you don't see any anchors.

Sounds like another 11 climber got shut down on a 10!

I think he's just self-loathing. It's a good route.

Really cool route, like what I imagine all those gritstone aretes in England would be like.

I led this and found it a little headier than I expected. Interesting movement, though! I really loved getting to that big jug on the arete right around the third or the fourth bolt. Whew! Pretty chill after that, totally enjoyed the top part.

Pulled the 5th bolt (3/8" x 2-3/4" Powers) out by hand--it had snapped at the threads. Big thanks to the American Safe Climbing Association (www.safeclimbing.org) for the replacement hardware and watch what you're clipping out there!

I honestly thought this was one of the harder 10 climbs I've completed in the Red. I didn't send it cleanly. There are several routes of a higher grade that must be more my style, because this one was rough on me.

Must gets its name from the unique sit rest. 10b, but only if you take the time to find the holds. I used holds on three different faces.
