| I felt this climb was very difficult for the rating. |

| Great little crimpy moves up this limestone face. The route never gets overhung and so it is more balance than anything. There has been a second pitch added above this one. Do a hanging belay off the first pitch anchors and go for it. There are a couple 5.10 moves, but overall much easier than the first pitch. The second pitch has well spaced bolts and a double chain anchor. |

| one of my first .10's and maybe my 5th lead. |

| I put up the second pitch with my friend Tristan before he left for his mission to Russia. I always wanted to drill a few more bolts above the big roof. We thought that the bolts up to the roof were fine. We didn't plan to run it out so much but the climbing was easy and we ran out of hangers. The slab was longer than it looked from the ground. If someone gets there before I get back I don't care if they add two bolts in the blank spaces up high. |

| The second pitch is pretty darn fun. But it needs some more traffic. The big roof and upper slab is a little dirty. More ascents will clean this up. |

| Finally!! This is another route I swore I would never get back on after I sent it. Well, I am beginning to realize that the climbs are always more fun when you finally get them. Small, crimpy, and balancy. I thought the crux was getting to the last bolt below the chains. There is a bomber hold there but getting to it is tricky and you have to really trust your feet. I think this is a good route for gauging where you are with your footwork. Now I can look with fondness at the scar this route left me when I tried it a couple of years ago. |

| The first limestone route in Rock Canyon. Still one of the best. |

| I agree. A good one to test your footwork. |

| I agree with Jason Billings on that. But .10d or .10c it's an AMAZING route. It was pretty intense as far as footwork goes. It also felt like a few holds may have broken off but that could just be me being weird. |
