Funny to see this come up today as I happened to do this route last Saturday after not
having seen anything online about it.

It certainly isn't worth 5 stars. I would say 2 or by a stretch 3. The first pitch is not
good, the rest all have something good about them. On the second pitch the jam crack
is choked full of mud and brush. Instead we climbed a flake just to the right which upon
further reading of the book sounds like it was the original route. Pitch 3 in the chimney
was nice, I really liked it. Unfortunately it is followed by more shrubbery bashing up to a
big ledge. We went right to climb the top section on a easy arete right of the yellow
corner.

Pro is good throughout. It isn't the worst route I have climbed in the mountains, as I
write this I gets better in retrospect. Expect adventure climbing rather than soaring
classic cracks.
