| An enjoyable climb with a cruxy start getting established on the slabby face above and another crux higher as you handjam the initial corner. Although short, this features some good positioning slightly higher on the exposed, finishing crack. |

| Out of curiosity, where is it pg13 for the pro? Does the hand crack not take good gear? |

| The PG13 rating comes from the unprotected and bouldery crux start which you can see in one of the beta photos. An easier and safer alternative is to start around the corner to the right and climb easy slab up and left to reach the first bolt. The upper crack section is well-protected and no harder than 5.7 or so. |

| Thanks, does the top crux go at 8+ or is that just the bottom? Edit: the new guidebook calls this climb a 10a... what's the fair grade? |

| decent route, start is a little spicey and probably deserving of the pg-13 rating. You can get a good stopper in from the ground but if you blow the moves onto the slab you are probably going to deck.
That one move could be called 10a but the rest of the route is no harder than 5.8 |
