Voted 10/10 | Not sure if I would call the wall 5.6 (closer to 5.3 maybe), but the crumbly rock in the middle gets your attention. If you don't bring gear like we did the second faces a pendulum and you have to tunnel to the top to get a belay stance. If you brought gear there is not much for placements but a small crack could protect the second. It did work fine with a 30m rope though and allowed to pull the pack through the hole. Be prepared to downclimb unless there is another common descent we didn't know about (maybe the lime squeezer?). We downclimbed the into an amphitheater immediatley left of the lemon squeezer down an overhanging bowl onto a tree. Very fun! | |

Hasn't voted | Good beta. I thought it seemed a little stout for 5.3 but maybe that is because we soloed it in hiking boots. I have never downclimbed this and have always gone down what I call the "lime squeezer". Glad you enjoyed the route. I will lower the difficulty rating. Take care! | |

Voted 10/10 | I will definitely be looking for the lime squeezer version to downclimb next time. I also just added some photos of the route. It was a great time!! | |
