[Hide Comment] Awesome burly technical route. That's my bail biner at bolt 6. I'll be back for it! Nov 6, 2012

[Hide Comment] Raining holds today. Literally rock falling off, good news is that's its ready for your send now after a good friend glued it all back together. Once a 4 star 11d- now who knows? Seems WORLDS harder than Geezer and Immaculate nearby ( or even Java) This pitch needs a new consensus. Nov 16, 2014

[Hide Comment] Tough 11d, maybe 12a. Certainly harder than some other Echo 12a's. Great route either way. Dec 8, 2014

[Hide Comment] Another big chunk pulled off this past weekend, just above the 4th or 5th bolt. Pretty scary for the folks below. It was a big chalky/polished flake. It will definitely make that section harder, as you move from right to left above the bolt. Feb 16, 2016

[Hide Comment] Hey...that's the nature of Brecchia in the Santa Monica's. It isn't a gym. Wear a helmet and be vigilant. Feb 16, 2016
