[Hide Comment] Great route! Fun movement on a cool pillar! The final move to the anchor is reachy. Jul 15, 2013

[Hide Comment] All fun until the final move which felt tricky for a 10. Jump/ reach if you are tall, tiny finger pinch out left if you are tiny! Aug 17, 2015

[Hide Comment] I'm going to put some chains on the top anchor to make it easier to clip Apr 18, 2016

[Hide Comment] Great climb where you constantly have to figure out how to make the moves work. I personally think this climb is trickier than Super Size Me. Oct 12, 2017

[Hide Comment] Very thoughtful route. The last moves to the top - I went left to an undercling rather than right to the weird corner handholds and found it much easier to reach the anchors. Jun 18, 2019

[Hide Comment] Awesome route, like Helen mentioned the moves are very thoughtful. If you get stuck between the 5th and 6th bolts, try something that starts with back begins with lay. If you don't try the dyno at the end, you have not pulled forward.

Gate on right mussy is messed up, gonna replace it within the next few weeks. Jul 31, 2020

[Hide Comment] Cool route that felt on par with the other 10c's in the area. This one makes you plan ahead a bit with your sequence. Right mussy gate is still messed up. Sep 9, 2022
