| unlike many routes in the red, the start of this one is less dirty and less awkward than usual. the entire route is really good. keep your eye out for 2 no hands rests. I would say no crux, just an endurance test. If you can climb most 10a's in the red then there isn't a move on this thing you will not be able to pull. |

| great route, not very hard for an 11a, and like ziggy said above it is more of an endurance test than anything. there is a great no hands rest at the top by the last bolt before the chains i believe. you get a toe hook in while standing up and leaning into the rock. so if you get pumped out towards the top i'd recommend using it! |
