[Hide Comment] A very awkward start, especially for shorter climbers... nothing felt natural getting up into the V, and I was more worried if I slipped and fell I'd tumble back off the tiny belay area. Only worth it if you link it up with Insomniac since it's super short otherwise. Apr 24, 2021

[Hide Comment] The crux is the start and is totally deck-able and I dont consider it a 5.6 move, I don't recommend new climbers leading this unless stick clipping. It would be a much better climb if it wasn't the first move. Oct 20, 2022

[Hide Comment] I decked. Feeling confident after sending Cat 5 (11a) on lead, didn't stick clip. My right hand blew off the akward start (the right hand of the climber in the picture above), spinned out, bounced off the belay ledge, free fell ten feet and continued to tumble down the hill. Yanked my belayer into a tree which stopped us both from rolling all the way down to Gunshow. Lucky to only have scrapes and bruises. Could have been WAY worse. Pretty stupid since we had a stick clip. But its only 5.6, right? Thanks to everyone at the crag for rushing over to pull us out of trouble. This was a good lesson in how personal risk taking affects everyone, can kill your belayer and ruin everyone's day. Everyone's ok. Went ahead and sent the route to the top of the crag (after stick clipping). Oh, and the dent in the back of my helmet could have been in my skull. Wear a helmet, check your knots. Jun 24, 2024
