Comments: Awesome climb for sure. I typically have to fight hard to get up 5.11s and I didn't have any trouble leading this. Felt like 10-. I found it easier than Hot Toddy.

Rock quality was better than I expected it to be but there were still a few moments where footholds were turning to kitty-litter beneath my feet.

Comments: Had to lower off from below the roof in a scary electrical storm on 8/20/06. If anyone retrieves a couple of stoppers for me, I would compensate with beer. I live in Boulder. Call me 4358813922
