Description To the right of "Bananarama", climb seams and face, passing a bolt, and the obvious wide crack. Move up and right from near the cracks top to anchors.
Protection Pro 3"-4".

| Guidebook rates this climb 5.10a. Face entry feels like 5.9, but definitely not 5.8. Route takes pro to 8"
Cheers,

| I agree:
Calling this route a 5.10 is a stretch. I give it a 5.9 start, then 5.8 for the rest. |

| We TR'd this one from the anchors to the right - it was certainly not 10a - pretty easy up the crack |

| I agree with Bruce. I always thought the crux was around the bolt on the face at 5.9. After that, the crack feels 5.7ish or 5.8ish. I led it with a #4 and #5 C4 and felt relatively safe, though I do admit to sliding one of my cams up with me. |

| Fun crack with decent rests. A good 'feel good' crack with many face features on either side. Big gear up higher -#3 and #4. |
