    Climb is good, recommended. 4 of us did it and all agreed it’s worth one star. If you guys are out there again, maybe you could clean the sand out of the horizontal crack below 4th bolt.

    Also, I wonder how stable is the block in which the belay carrots are, i.e. how much more rock is hidden in the dirt. Personally, and at least, I would not put the carrots so close to the edge where the turning (toppling) moment generated on the boulder is highest. I can see what you were trying to do – put carrots close enough to edge that they can be clipped with quickdraws – but you could just say in the description that 2ft slings are required to clip carrots.

    But again, the climb is v. nice.
