βeta: I agree this is tough for the grade. Although sports grades are given to reflect the whole route i find that a lot/most Portland routes i have done have had definite Cruxes where it was significantly harder than the rest of the climb... | βeta? | |

βeta: though most of it is easy and clear- the start is tricky for the grade and at the second bolt the move is as hard as a lot of portland 6a+s moves- would feel really bad for any new leaders to try this out- can't believe the grade is acccurate as my partner who was working hall of mirrors (7c) had to use a heel hook (she is a little short ) but, come on, get realistic about the cruxes. should be upgraded to 5+ for the 2 tough moves I think. | βeta? | |

βeta: The route is basically a one move wonder so would probably give it 5+ assuming you stay on the line, no way near sustained enough to be 6a though. | βeta? | |

βeta: I'd guess 5+ or 6a if you stay on line. I took a detour left which may just be as low as 4+. | βeta? | |

βeta: A large piece of rock has fallen off this route since it was first graded. The triangular scar can be seen between the first and second bolt.....may need regrading..? | βeta? | |
