10 recorded ascents.
| Climber | Style | Ascent Date | Suggested Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ron Kauk | Boulder | worked | 1978 | |
|
First ascent.
Ron uses a slightly different sequence to usual: instead of pressing fully in to the mantel he gets half way in to it and then uses a little crimp for the left hand. References[1] An ascent from approx. 1991 https://www.instagram.com/p/CmnRGViBEH8/ |

| John Bachar | Boulder | worked | 1978 | |

Second ascent.
Bachar drew the original and iconic lightning bolt on the problem while working it with Ron Kauk and John Yabolinski in 1978.
