[Hide Comment] I had a pretty fun time putting up a maybe new 5.10 crack on Sugarloaf because the directions here are not-so-useful. Maybe consider revising the "where these climbs are located" bit. Or not. Apr 17, 2015

[Hide Comment] Has bolts at top currently, was very dirty, made some of the jams feel a bit desperate for 5.9. Great gear for a trad lead! Aug 4, 2020

[Hide Comment] This is an older route so the grading is a bit sandbagged I believe it's a bit harder than 5'9 personally and I installed anchor bolts this spring. Aug 4, 2020
