Could not agree more. It does not get more classic than this. If you can ignore the copious amounts of epoxy on the climb it is hard to rival the movement on this climb. Sticking to the left side of Middle Earth is a great way to get strong.

Sweet, sustained route. 13 bolts, I believe. I think it's closer to 80' than 60', though.

Most of this route would fall off if it wasn't glued on. Fun moves, okay, but not classic by any stretch of the imagination.
