A fun route, largely because it doesn't see a lot of traffic so the holds are not super polished, although it can be a little dirty. The climbing is mostly vertical except for the last 6 feet of slab.

There is a lot of loose rock to the right of the last bolt. Tread carefully. Sep 13, 2020

I pulled enough rock off of this this weekend it should be considered a new route. Almost everything was loose over the roof and a few substantial holds are gone. There used to be a lip on the left side just before the end, that is gone. The trickiest part is still going over the roof and fumbling on slopers but it is now infinitely worse, as anything you would've put your feet on is now either gone or quickly crumbling. The winter is rough on this climb as it is a natural water path. Apr 14, 2025
