Rope on the left is climbing Fingerprint 5.12 (the novice on it cheated and used an easy maybe class 4 route to get up) Right is Unconquerable 5.8-5.11 the guy in the photo made it to the 11 part. No more progress was made.

Hasn't voted | I thought it was simply 5.8. I guess the crux is that weird hand-over-the-shoulder thing where a head jam seems appropriate about 1/2 way up! However, this climb definitely seems harder that it's 5.8 neighbor, Test Piece. Curious what others thought. | | Posted Apr 8, 2004 7:20 pm |

Hasn't voted | Some of the route ratings there seem sandbagged. | | Posted Apr 8, 2004 7:40 pm |

Hasn't voted | I think the ratings are a little screwy at Consumnes.Also, I think there is a 5.10 and a 5.11 variation to this climb, which is why it's " 5.8 - 5.11 ". | | Posted Apr 8, 2004 7:41 pm |

Hasn't voted | Ah yes - ...there is a 5.10 and a 5.11 variation to this climb... -- that must be why I always fall on this route! I'm doing the 5.11 variation ha ha ha! | | Posted Apr 8, 2004 10:05 pm |

Hasn't voted | It is 5.8 up until the notch, after that it is 5.11 that part is difficult. Its natural rock, it’s not climbing in a gym where you are in a controlled environment. The natural rock routes aren’t consistent as far as ratings. | | Posted Apr 12, 2004 11:20 am |
