Yes it is rad! I tried it earlier in the year. I though it was much harder than Grimulus (which you can stem most of the way up). Its an awesome splitter crack which you need to jam in the off finger size. I would recomend taking multiple cams of this size, I got super pumped trying to wiggle in wires as I only had one set of cams. I had hoped to make a good onsight attempt but ended up flailing terribly, would love to go back when the weather warms up for a rematch.

Let me know if you need some more details finding it. The boneseed is pretty thick getting to it, but the crack is fairly obvious looking from the rifle range. The cliff does look straight down on the rifle range so don't go anywhere near the place when the range is open (which is pretty much all the time). We headed out there around 7pm in the summer and climbed late evening to be sure that no one was around. Be discreet in those areas outside the park, the quarry property is a bit more active these days so best to keep things pretty quiet out there.
