Wouldn't try without crack experience

Not a very enjoyable route

Tough start into fun climbing at the grade

Super polished 5.8 felt like I was gonna slip off

Name is fitting

Super polished, decent climb, nothing special.

For old school crack cimbers, this might be a 5.8, but for a sport climb this is a lot more difficult. Awkward, hard and polished. I'd say it's closer to a 5.9+ or 5.10a.

Not much for footholds at the crux. Getting polished

Old Style for real -- hard for the grade, hand-jams, and the awkward. But a fun climb.

The bolts on this route should be cut. This is a perfect finger crack that can be safely protected on gear. all you need is 1 blue nut, 1 grey 0.4, 1 purple 0.5 and optional grey 3 cam (this is not needed but will fit perfectly at the end of the crack before you step over to the slab section.

How about those finger locks?!

Perfectly imperfect holds. An awkward start leading to thoughtful moves. A stick clip probably wouldn’t be a bad idea...

Short and scrappy.
