this rout was terrible, not to mention the first bolt spins like a top and that is a bit skechy if you ask me. but all in all its rock and im climbing so i cant complain to much.
I really liked this route, it isn't all marked up like the other routes in the area, and it has some fun moves. Straight up, and nothing awkward. Good bolt placement.
Good route, it's 5.9 climbing the whole way. Hit your head on the last bolt before the anchors(both my partners did), cuss, smile, and then pull huge jugs. Anyone who complains about the first bolt being a spinner and being to high, go back to the gym...this is outdoor climbing. I love RRG.
great route, fun bulge to pull at the top, a bit humid so beware of slippery slopers i popped off around the 2/3rd bolt and had to lock off my left arm when my right arm went sour and my feet cut. good times for sure.
OH MY GAWD!!! This is the GREATEST route ever!!! I repeat... the GREATEST!!! I can't wait to come back to Military Wall and climb this route over and over and over and over and over. I LOVED it!!! The GREATEST!!!
reported first bolt as a spinner to team-suck climbing since it is still spinning 4 and a half years after kreate posted. i can't say i really liked this route - but it also wasn't the worst thing i ever climbed. i think someone other than myself must be right-left backwards when they decided to name it "stay left"
Ok, it's not a classic climb, but it wasn't that bad. The last little bulge with the ow in it was a neat section. It's easy, and not that long, and it's worth checking out at least.
i have avoided this route for almost 10 years and I finally got on it. similar holds to sunshine/moonbeam but more technical. it was much better than I thought it would be and is worthy of your time.
The distance between the 1st and 2nd bolt is pretty big, but at least the first bolt is pretty high off the ground and the climbing to it is so easy you probably won't even want to stickclip it. About a year ago I watched a guy try to clip the second bolt and then take a whipper on it about 4 times in a row. No wonder the first bolt is a spinner. That and the crux is probably the move where you are going to the clipping jug for the second bolt. I still can't believe that guy couldn't hold on to a jug that big and just make the clip. I thought it was worth doing, but wished it was longer.
IMHO: not worth the effort. I found it akward and not much fun. I wish I hadn't climbed it, but atleast it gives me more perspective on how awesome many of the RRG routes truly are.
