Awesome route. Loved it.
But, do you think it is full on 11c?
I was able to flash it on a toprope, and I havn't redpointed anything harder than 10c for almost a year.
What do you think? is it easy or did I just get lucky?
I remember it feeling pretty sustained. It's kinda vertical so the pump doesn't come into play as much like those 11's at Torrent. I would say it felt easier than those but it definitely was no cake walk either!
I think you should pat yourself on the back and consider it a great TR flash. Did you do those other 11's at the Indy Wall? Those are great too.
Does he have a strange bear claw like appendage protruding from his neck? He kep petting it.
Did you do the direct start? If not, it might feel easier. Also, when we first climbed it the route was wet, mossy, dirty, and there was plenty of loose and fragile rock. Karla spent several hours cleaning it and it became much easier and more aesthetic.

J-Rock- yep I did the direct start: two opposing sidpulls to a one pad shelf. It is a foot or two to the right of the bolt, but I thought it was pretty direct.
Artsay- I got on Makin' bacon and Bitter ray of sunshine, but that's about it.
