Great climb. Difficult start with sustained climbing all the way up. Some call it a 5.10. Possibly longest at pictured. Not over used. Good view. Requires moves and not just holds. 8 bolts. Just around the corner from Tarzan.

Dirty hard to find climb, but has a terrific start. Then it gets buggy and dirty.

Fun route but is so slippery and so muddy slick at the anchor I believe it is worth the 5.9 it gets on The Crag rather than 5.8 on Mountain Projects
 (all holds completely caked in mud, I used an undercling to hoist myself up to clip the anchors as what would be jugs were... not)

Direct finish is a bit puzzling. Fun warm up or in the rain due to overhang.
