IMHO, I think this route needs to be upgraded to 5.7R to a minimum.

Sergio, I did mention an R in the rating but based on what I wrote (& that's more accurate than my present memory :), it was on terrain less than .6 You think that's off?

Hi Radek,

I did the route yesterday and I think the entire route is an easy 5.6 including the ow on the 2nd pitch (short section plus easy incline should not cause any worry to anyone). Different story for the roof on pitch 6. It is a stiff 5.7 and based on my observation from the amount of rope I had between me and the piece in the crack, a fall while getting out of the crack onto the slabby face would almost certainly guarantee you to hit the deck below. I thought that an R rating added to the 5.7 was more appropriate and it would serve as a good warning that the move is not as easy as a typical 5.7 you can find in RR. What's your take?

Sergio, I am sure you are right (it's been a while since I did that route so your memory is MUCh better than mine :). I will add your comment to the route page. Let me know if that works. many thanks for the feedback on the beta! Cheers.
