Super fun, pumpy climb, on quality rock.

Great climbing but the crux is clipping the bolts

It's hard to clip when the holds are so big your hands get stuck??

dustonian said on March 28th, 2011

This route actually has some bad holds for an "11c"... on the middle 2 clips anyway.

There is a crux move going past the second to last (4th?) bolt, but once the holds were chalked up there is not a hard clip on the route. Fun jugs with easy clips and one tougher move. Just as good as unknown 4, needs some traffic to clean up.

Worthy of a name and some stars. Very continuous for the grade.

Seeing that real climbers grade this 5.11c and 5.11d my feelings are now hurt. Even at the sandbagged chocolate factory I thought this one deserved 5.12a. That crux felt like a way hard 11 move while carrying a pump.

Its a bit of a skin-shredder too. Looking forward to getting it clean.

Fun route with a distinct crux. The sharp pocket move may feel like 12a if you can't get 3 fingers in it. All the other holds are friendly. Race the pump clock.

An excellent route, as advertised this is why you come to climb at the RRG. There are no bad clips whatsoever, the crux is obviously the stab to the left hand pocket before the last bolt.

super fun climb, awesome little boulder prob mid way up.

The last time I got on this the 4th bolt was spinning a bit!

Anonymous said on August 9th, 2013

if the bolt is spinning, tighten it! 9/16" socket/wrench and i'm sure it'll be all good.

to whatever fuckstick tried to zip tie biners to the anchors of this: I pulled the last set off because they were worn and there's no need for leavers. as for the half worn and sharp spirit you put up there and the other piece of garbage, they are pulled as well. don't put garbage on routes.

Stellar route and about right at 11d.
