| Very fun practice. Took some new guys (a dad and a 9 year old kid) up it and they loved it! Highly recommend to take new people up. Set the anchor just above the flake on gear then 3rd/4th class up and left to the tree and rap off. |

| I felt like everything was polished and insecure. If it was Tuolumne rock it would have felt bomber. |

| This route has become so polished from all the traffic, my partner and I thought it felt more like 5.8. We finished on the upper pitches of Swan Slab Gully and felt the grade to be much truer. |

| A very fun but all too short pitch; seemed very slippery and insecure due to lots of traffic that's polished the rock. I called it a 5.7, since it's significantly tougher than the Swan Slab Gully just "next door." |
