Comments: Maybe a hold broke off or something, but this is not a 9. It is however a fun line and worth doing.

Comments: One of those routes where it could be hard if you don't use certain features etc, etc.... Skip this one and do one of the good lines to right as a warm up for Monkey Puzzle.

Comments: every bolt where one might fall on this route is terrible and badly in need of replacing. good line.

Comments: It really does go both ways. My partner stayed with the layback while I jumped onto the face early. 11c both ways.

Comments: I thought this would let up a bit after the initial crux around the 2nd bolt... not the case. Hard and sustained all the way to the finish. Very thin, very technical. Amazing route.

Comments: This would be a 3 star route with the addition on a trail, place to belay, and a bit of gardening on the ramp. Hard, sustained climbing.

Comments: There is an issue here of much greater importance than Mike's choice of footwear. Mike, it's very hot when you roll your pants up like that.

Comments: Direct start recommended. Pushes it up to 10. Then hit the roof direct as well.

Comments: I'll admit, felt a bit stiff for a 10. A good spot will get you up to the first bolt. The mid section is indeed tricky. Great route, though.

Comments: When I sent this it was one of my first 12s, so I didn't have a lot to compare it to. Looking back now that I've bagged a few more climbs in that range, I'd have to say that this is a bit harder than 12a. 12b might even be a little soft.
Really sweet line. Couldn't get any thinner on the arete. Worth ticking often. This climb should see more traffic.

Comments: Maybe I was tired or did it wrong, but it felt pretty hard for 11a/b. I'd say more like 11c.

Comments: The third pitch is stellar like everyone has said. It felt 11b or c. not too much lichen and loose stuff, the entire route seems pretty clean. The fourth pitch is also stellar with overhanging 11+ up to the ledge. I have a pretty good reach, and the move left is still way way out there. Probably 12b. With a bit of traversing, we made it down with one 70m rope in 4 raps. Killer after-work, shady, multi-pitch 12 action!

Comments: Once you get through the crumbly start, this is a very good route. the moves up top were excellent.

Comments: I really can't argue with anything you've just said Greg (except of course the hand hold on/foot hold off part that would make it highly contrived and is not the case). I'll be perusing your todo list asap, because I have no doubt in my mind that it is loaded with stellar routes. You are spoiled... and that is a GREAT thing to be when discussing the quality of routes you've ticked. I hope to get there someday as well and your list has got to be an excellent way to start!

Comments: Ya know, I don't like contrived lines either, AND THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT ONE OF THEM. I feel the need to defend this route, even in opposition to the friend I climbed it with. The only thing I could say if this line had not been bolted would be what a waste! It's a great line. Going left from the 3rd bolt is appealing during the onsight attempt, especially after having taken a good look at a very difficult and technical crux to the right, but having gone left, the climber now finds him/herself on... more >>

Comments: I think the hangers on this route could be put to a better use... like bolting the approach to highwire in CCC (it's got to be at least a 4.10-)
jeeze.

Comments: The last three pitches are spectacular. Not to be missed!
FYI: The chockstone rap leaves you looking up hill at a small slab to the left of a good sized pine tree. The vertigo rap rings are just on the other side of the slabs arete right in the middle. Get to the rings from the lower left side of this arete. Another set of chains follows.
Best way off the wall IMO allowing you to hit dirt in two single rope raps from the upper ramp.

Comments: Long, sustained, airy, all around badass route. 10c sounds fair. It could 10b depending on height.
