Getting polished.
As a popular "easy" sport in the Canyon, especially as it is close to the entrance, this isn't entirely surprising. But the crux is probably closer to 5.9 now than 5.8-. |

This climb is starting to return to nature -- needs more climbing/love. Bolted anchors might help -- or just being closer to the reception.
Lots of moss, lots of dirt, also wet in places -- noticeably harder than 5.5 in its current state. |
