I thought that it was quite hard, being a NRG crimper-high stepper....it should be my style, but slap slap slap

It can be unnerving going to the anchors too!

Killer techy climbing. Still plenty "sporty", even with new hardware. Took the fall going to the third bolt: Exciting!!

sketch! exciting to try to onsight. took third bolt fall too, i think - the one where you go around the arete - surprisingly clean and refreshing!

Onsight. I flail on overhanging jug hauls 'cause I'm weak. Techy slab 4-lyfe!

This has been 5.11b since John Bronaugh's 1st edition in 1993. However, I just checked and Porter does have it as 5.11a in his guide. Interesting.

Forget the numbers...This route should be graded SCARY. Especially in very hot/cold weather. :)

Sca-ry! I think the only reason I didn't give up at the crux was because I was too scared, and because I didn't want to do it again. It does have very interesting moves, but it used up a month worth of my adrenaline.

hope I never get on this one again. bolted horribly and way way harder than 11b. didn't have fun on this one.

This route is so spicy, I could make chili with it.

How badly I want to say "Hen-ry! You crafty old Sonofabitch!" But alas, The fish's name in "on Golden Pond" is Walter.

i climb alot of slab and technical face climbing. im ok with getting sandbagged from time to time. but this is stupid. seriously. im going with 12a. for those of you trying to boost your egos by sandbagging you should try to climb harder to get your reputation instead of sandbagging. i feel as though i can say this because i onsighted and i am very capable of onsighting at this level.

This route isn't any harder than 11a. Anonymous is smoking crack, but at least they are getting funnier

dustonian said on July 31st, 2011
agreed, 11b is inflated if anything

Almost downclimbed as I contemplated the move to the third bolt but then I just decided to go for it and it stuck the move, thankfully. Felt quite sketchy, but glad to read here that the fall would have been clean. And wow, the climb to the anchors is interesting, the rock is gorgeous up there, iron oxide curlicues. I loved this climb, and think 11a/b is fair.

Pretty fun, I think 11b is a fine grade. The feet are good, the hands are...there..

The under cling hold popped off on me just right of the first draw. I`m only 150lbs too. :) I also feel the last bolt needs to be moved about 4' right. If you fall going to the anchors the fall/swing doesn`t look fun.

yeah, after 25 years this route definitely needs immediate safety revision

anticlmber said on October 10th, 2015
last bolt is fine where it's at. have taken that fall (several times) and caught many others on it. the swing isn't anything and you just kinda of run along the wall or softly hit air.

I agree that last bolt placement seems odd. Is the rock bad to the right? Last bolt seems left of the bolt line and far left of the climbing line.
