| This is one of my least favorite routes Ive ever done. The bolts are old and scary and it should probably be avoided. Felt a little harder than 5.7 too. Not worth the time and effort. |

| Ahh, my first climb in the Black Hills... I agree, it kinda sucks. It took my wife and I nearly three hours to find this route since we'd never been in the area before. (We were one gully over almost the entire time!) Angela ended up slipping into a hole while we were hiking around and tore the crap out of her leg on some sharp crystals. Then after all that effort the route is short and quite unremarkable! To top things off, we ended up being late for dinner with my brother! |

| If memory serves me right back in 95, I found this short steep climb to have nothing for your hands in two places between bolts. Basically, I remember balancing on sizable footholds, palming the rock and praying one of the big crystals I was standing on didn't come off. Oh, by the way, while belaying my second up I was visited by the goat himself. |

| Climbing to the 2nd bolt is balancey and fun, but the rest is not much to speak of. I wouldn't climb it again or recommend it to anyone else. |

| Possible ground fall from crux-- not well bolted. Crux would feel harder if you are less than average height I would think. Remember being a bit scared at the top too while leading this... |
