Cool route. I loved the day-glo orange lichen.

This climb was a perfect way to end the day. The setting sun luminates the orange rock, and the view from the top is great. Variety of moves throughout the crack. Just look out for wasps, especially if you're trying to remove a micronut placement right next to the wasps... As noted, the crack arches right over to the No Sleep anchors. You lower directly over the No Sleep route, so you can set up a TR or place draws for No Sleep pretty easily.

Worth doing if you find yourself here with a rack, but I found it a rather odd climbing experience. The patina is fracturing in places, the stances are "almost" comfortable, movement is awkward at times and sharing anchors may be troublesome if there's a party on the sport line... But the orange lichen, a good view and the fact that you're plugging gear evens it out.

I was able to get out a stuck piece of gear from this route today. Let me know some identifying information for the piece, and I'll get it back to ya.

Pretty darn good for a red 7. Almost as good as G. I. , Shock and Awe, and Casual Viewing.... almost. 0

Really enjoyed this route, grade seems right but it's a thought provoking climb... a good variety of differing styles... Protection was good and varied greatly, nuts cams,a wide range of sizes, I had a 6" and was glad of it but but you could do it without it. Great hot day destination. Also a good kid friendly route, my 8 year old sent this comfortably.
