It is classified as moderate difficulty, with ratings typically ranging from V4 to V6 depending on the source. The route begins with a sit start, requiring one hand on a knife-edge crimp and the right foot on a triangle hold. Climbers move up and right across slopers to dyno for a rail at the finish. Locals often consider it one of the best problems in Skyland, though ratings can be sandbagged. Parking is available on site, and the area is pet friendly. Access requires entering from the north because the southern entrance crosses private property, which has specific restrictions. The GPS coordinates are 38.86984, -106.98407.
