Free soloed this climb. The face variation is tough! Every time I did it, however, the undercling var felt way more secure. Its got to be easier than 5.8. The crack is solid, bomber, and makes me miss Yosemite every time I'm away.
Fun route, I thought I was a 5.7 climber but this 5.8 felt easy. I took the undercling start which felt easy. The hand jams up high are very cool and fun, I will visit this route again...
