blow a clip near the top and watch in horror as your knees are devestated by the roof below. Seriously be careful my friend almost lost both his knees.

not that well bolted, but the route is enjoyable if you are comfortable at the grade....

This route may be poorly bolted, but it is still one of my favorite 10s at the Red. If you are comfortable at the grade, you will really enjoy it.

This is a good harder 5.10 with really good rests.

this is a decent route...but terribly bolted...blow the second clip and its goodbye to your ankles...blow the 4th and its the same thing...ditto on the last, your knees will get devastated...not a bad climb and the rests are there when you need/want them, but there are tons of better 10s to climb....

like an overhanging lap route at the gym... lots of big holds, straightforward moves, fun.

Fantastic route! It is a little spicy but just fine if you're comfy on the grade / massive jugs. Thanks for the new bolts & anchor!
