| The newest guide book out for the Gorge gives this climb a 10a which I thought was appropriate. |

| I agree that the climb is 5.10a. Like all great routes it challenges at more than just the brute strength level. |

| I'll second and third the 10a rating. When I led it (May 08) it pushed the ceiling of my limit - I remember the start being reachy (I am 5'2") |

| Funky and exciting start leads into an otherwise boring route. Sad, given the quality routes on both sides. |
