| Nice route! When I led it, I assumed working the roof was part of the route, so I did, and that felt like the crux to me. Later, I saw someone else bypass the roof altogether by traversing the face below it and then up into the corner; I did that on toprope and it was far easier. I don't know which is the right way to do it, but I think the face traverse drops it to the 5.7 range. |

| I'm going to replace that anchor. The bolt's still in there, so it's not going to be much to fix. |

| Be warned, the chockstone above the roof is quite loose. I tested it with a .75 and the crack expanded when the cam was placed. Better pro in the crack ~5ft above. Otherwise, a great route. |

| Fun route. The finish of the route is very easy, and the start is definitely the crux. Combine stemming with toe jamming at the start. Two bolt anchors are currently in excellent condition. |
