This is a fun route with a great view of Pinecliff, the railroad, and river below.

There are great holds through the first roof.  The route becomes easier.  At second roof, there is slightly harder crimping.  The route backs off to easy 5th Class. The third roof has harder crimping.

There are a total of ten bolts, with 2 chain anchors. The anchors easily are reached from the top of the crag, so a TR is possible without leading.

The moves at the first 4 bolts are thin and the feet are hard to come by, no doubt the crux comes right off the deck. The route becomes easier, and it backs off for 20 feet. The final 3 bolts have thin, hard crimping again, there is an awesome pinching on long horizontal rail at the top out.

There is a total of nine bolts, with 2 chain anchors. The anchors are not easily reached from the top of the crag, meaning a TR is challenging without first leading.
