βeta: I've done this route a few times moving far right at the crux with a very thin right hand side pull, crossing through to a 2 finger pinch, then up to a jug at the top, just needing to traverse back across the crimp rail to clip the final bolt. | ||

βeta: It's not about reach. It's about technique (as is the rest of the island). I'm 5'7" and like I said, found it impossible without the crucial foothold - once in position it made it easy. | ||

βeta: I would say this route is ridiculously height dependent and ungradeable. I am 6ft1 and undercutting the smooth arc I was still 2 inches or so short of the top hold. Someone 6ft6 would find this easy, someone 5ft6 absolutely impossible. | βeta? | |

βeta: Okay, now I really have to disagree with the re-grade. Does one comment on a frankly unrepresentative database warrant an up-grade? Surely it should be graded for the easiest way up it? With this route there IS only one way and the crux is no harder than English 5c. The route to the left is 6c and the crux is ten times harder. AND! what's the long reach symbol for?...ye gads... F6b+ MAX. | βeta? | |

βeta: Unbalanced, yes, but as Steve points out - most of Portland is steady climbing with headwall cruxes. I couldn't do this until JD showed me how to do this cunning 1-inch foot move while you're undercutting the smooth arc. I can get it pretty much every time now. It's a good route. | βeta? | |
