Soloed
Windy day, thought I might be the only one on the route, but when I got there was sandwiched between two teams. Jim Donini was roped up below me still going strong. From an on sight solo perspective I felt the grading was soft in comparison to most 5.8's. Every pitch was suppose to be 5.8, but it was a very secure jug fest the whole way. No real solo crux to speak of. When steep, you are jugging.

Best 5.8 in the stateI haven't done that many routes in AZ, but it's so good.
