I've never know 5.4 to be dead vertical. Having just climbed this yesterday, and even using the tree, it feels harder than 5.4. Given that bark is slippery, for chimneying, an increase in the rating seems justified, perhaps bumped up to "Roper 4th class" difficulty.
Doing the route without the tree, is probably 5.8 or so. Downclimbing without the tree seems harder.
-
Must be 3rd class.

How's this for "formal:"

That was my 41st onsight and I did a belayed downclimb at the insistence of my partner by leaving a screwlink on the best looking of the 3 old anchor bolts. I did not make much mention of the climbing in my log other than to say the chimneying between the tree and rock was tricky.
-
Mungie ,it was 5.4+
Yer getting soft.
In the next guide, the rating should include the Tree/ no tree.
The bark needs to be re-enforced with a heavy grit sandpaper....Clink do you have any?
Or we could use Squiddo's old wall texture paint if he still has any.
-
Fun moves but no pro, 5.8 without tree. Old softies used tree, which is in the way of my route idea.
-
A week of rain creates full conditions on the upper sectionof this route - lots of fun if you're a botanist.
-
yeah, near the top of the first part anyways. The upper easy section is clean, and really good rock. Nice location. Shame there aren't more routes on this formation.
Cook is right. The bolts on top could use some work.

I'll get out there and fix that sucker - that way I can climb it again too - cuz I ain't climbin' escape from Soledad :) - be fun to try on TR though...what?...did I actually say that?!

Holy sh#t, the world is ending. Or someone is impersonating J.C.
And now my "Ron Skelton moment:" I led that back in the mid '80s. It was still rated 5.9 then ;D

I think TR'd it after Mud lead it. I seem to recall it being a little eye opening in difficulty for Mud, I think because some of the holds have come off. No idea for sure. But it does give a good pump work out.
-
Geoff led it right after it went up, with Sam "Muscle" Davidson spotting him, while I belayed.
Proud lead.

What?! Heresy!

Heresy hell, he slandered you. Defamation, plain and simple.

I am going to Sue and sling mud from 90 paces!
oh, and in all the excitement.
DIE!

Not saying you didn't climb it, but you said something at the time indicating it was full value.
Do you disagree to the truth that it is a full value climb, and the moves getting to the first bolt aren't 'eye opening'?
Disagreement also being a clear indication of a 5150, in this case.
-
I stand on a fifth or my shoes or whatever else I can find since I have sensitive feet.
what is 5150? Is that like MadDog?

lol
