| Crux comes at the start and end. May be nice to stick clip the first bolt. The 3rd bolt is high off the ledge and would result in a ground fall if you bounce off the ledge. Still a fun climb if you can keep your head. Some good pockets in the Rocket. |

| Yikes, be careful clipping the third. The bottom is excellent, the ledge is a bummer, and the top is just ok. |
