Looks weird and chunky

Dow,

Nice set of photos you posted. I've heard varying opinions on this route from the best 5.8 ever to overrated and crappy. How did you like it?

Re: Looks weird and chunky

somewhere in between...listen, no loose rock and from where I come from, that is always a bonus..straight up with no traverses, another bonus...(try to climb Yamnuska in Canmore without a nasty traverse here and there)....sustained for the most part=nice....I recommend it, but then it is my first real route at Red Rocks..did Dark Shadows on Friday, but did not like that so much...probably waiting in line to climb it did not help matters much....I would think you should definitely do it...go mid week though, only reason we had it to ourselves was the cold...would hate to rap that thing over someone or get caught behind a slow party...that is why Red Rocks is only for me in small doses...Radek's notes were spot on. Cheers.
