much harder than you think when looking at it.

The crux on this route is down low just after the short left traverse and feels harder than 5.6. Above the crux it's easy but painful!

Old school grade for sure, 5.6++. If you start up the face behind the tree instead of the wide crack, you can get some OK pro (#2 or tricam) into one of the pockets so that you have something between you and the ground before getting to the mini roof. Used tree climbers left of the top out, new black webbing as of 9/29/19.
