For those of you who may be interesed in climbing "Feathers" I just spent part of the afternoon cleaning it. It's a fantastic line but man is it ever hard. I wouldn't be shy to give it 5.11d maybe 12a. I had heard it was way harder than the grade it was given: 5.11a. Felt harder than Montezuma's. A couple of the holds broke off near the bottom which may have made the route harder. I don't think anyone has been on this route in 10 years judging by how dirty it was. I'll be back when the temps get colder to send it.
Has anyone ever been on this route? Check it out.

I remember watching Mark float up it, and being very, very impressed. Even when it was new, I don't think many people ever got on it.

Right after it was put up I managed to RP it with my grigri as belay. That was exciting!! I remember staying at the top crux for like 10min before I commited to the sequence.
Very good route.

Sheesh Zig, it is too bad you don't still rope climb...you might be good at it.
