My first 10c. Super well-protected, and my intro to crack climbing on the West Coast. A good climb to ease into the grade IMO. Stays in the shade in the morning. A complete delight that I will fondly remember. (I don't necessarily recommend warming up on it for West Crack, but what does one do when all the other climbs are busy?)

First pitch is phenomenal and favors the smaller fingers. You can lower the leader on a 60m rope if you're tied in and ready to climb (have your shoes within reach!).

The reason why it was 12a in Reids book and now much easier is because they changed the way the route was originally done. The second pitch is not an R rating it was adequately protected with a knifeblade and some small stoppers. It would appear that people just aren't comfortable climbing with this type of gear anymore so they have to bolt it or go a different direction. They should call the new Bombs Over Tokyo something like I Bombed on Bombs. Just kidding it probably is a mighty proud line.

Did the first pitch. Very good route. Need multiple .3 inch cams to protect the upper section of the pitch. 60 foot rope reaches to rap, barely.

indeed, the description on this page is fairly confusing. The topo probably makes it clearer.

The 10c is only the first pitch.

This is a very good route. Slightly awkward ~5.9 down low and then you get into the beautiful 10c crack.

If I remember correctly, the anchors are a bit out of view.
