| I think this route and Gettin' Lucky are both overrated. |

| The first few moves are greasy and sequential enough to call 5.10a. The overhanging plate haul at the top is a blast! |

| Great climbing! The start is the hardest part, especially if you're short. From there, it's pumpy and loads of fun. |

| The start is now polished beyond belief. 10c start to 5.9 climbing. Stick clip is advisable if you are not solid at the mid 5.10 grade.

| stick clip is nearly mandatory on this- the start isnt that hard- one move, but you could break your ankles if you blew it. |
