Lovely. Like 5 tries on the boulder. First time the boulder went the route went. Cool line. Fun pretty well the whole way.

2nd try. Edit: Also sent Puzzle Box Right (5.12d), thought it was the best of the three “Box” routes

Liked this climb more than I anticipated when viewing it from the ground. An interesting boulder problem followed by enjoyable climbing to the chains.

I waited two years to put in a proper flash attempt on this. Today was the day, and the waiting paid off! Definitely worthy of top hundy, what a great climb!

Puzzling. The initial boulder didn't seem too bad but the part after the finger lock felt hard. Maybe I missed something.

Tricky crux sequences, interesting movement. Watched my partner on it, had a pretty good idea of what was in store. Surprised myself by holding it together.

2nd go! Took a while to figure out the boulder problem down low. Left toe hook for me worked better. Boulder problem up high easy once you know where the hidden crimps are

Finger lock in the lower crux hurt a whole lot... other than that really great climbing with a powerful boulder problem down low and a technical sequence near the top. Went second try today, a few goes yesterday.

V5 Boulder problem right off the ground, even after doing it multiple times it felt very hard! Easy fun climbing takes you to the 11c redpoint crux that spoiled many send attempts! Super fun! First of the grade

I thought this was 12a when I got on, and REALLY had to fight my way up. Got pretty wrecked! Pleasantly surprised to find consensus on here is 12b. This route is really fantastic, with varying boulder problems and a ton of different cool movements.

My first FA at this cliff. A sinuous grooveline with good moves throughout. Would be a better route if the start were less bouldery.
