Comments: I don't think there is going to be any good ice for a while. Temps have been in the 50's the past 2 weeks.

Comments: I'm not sure if you are trying to hint that I took out a tree or not but I can assure you I didn't. Also, I did this problem last summer(along with other people) before any storms and don't remember any tree being in the way. Maybe I am confused on where Bulldozer is???

Comments: You guys crack me up, I am nowhere near strong enough to send this. I spent all summer projecting it and never got close to sending on lead. I will be focusing my attention to the face to the left of this next summer, at least that has holds.

Comments: A great problem. As Pete said this is deceptively easy looking. I did this staying in the crack but it was tough not to use the large jug off to the left. Starts with compression moves and ends with insecure fist jams and hand stacking while high stepping on nothing. Too bad this got overlooked for so long. Definitely a Little Fox testpiece along with Friction Fighter, Ultimate Arete, and Bipolar Traverse. Don't be surprised if you walk away bloody.

Comments: Wow, what a stunning line!!! What a pumpfest, it was 45 degrees when I climbed this today and I was pouring sweat like it was 80. Best climb I've done at the Head.

Comments: "I am not 100 percent positive but I believe that Mike lead many of these thin lines pre "city is cool with climbing" days. "
By this do you mean he lead them on gear?

Comments: Finally got this after way too many tries. This problem is basically just campusing for the first four moves. Man I love this problem.

Comments: I think that this area is just about climbed out except for a few very hard projects so that won't be too much more added. I will work on making a detailed topo of the area and post it in the near future.

Comments: BEWARE: There are two hornets nest on the top of this. One right by the top anchors and one 2/3rds of the way to the top near a birch tree.

Comments: A very fun route, I found the begining to be actually pretty easy. The crux for me was traversing left at the fourth bolt. The last cuple feet was tough also untill I found a key crimp hidden out right.

Comments: Thanks only took me about 50 tries to get this dang thing. This is good but the line that starts on the same undercling and traverses up and right into the shallow dihedral "Chump Unknown" is much better in my opinion.

Comments: THis thing is very sequencial. Starts on two big jugs and gets crimpy and sharp quickly.

Comments: Climbing really flows nicely on this route. A BD#3 fits great in a horizontal near the top.

Comments: I thought this was 4 stars for sure. Good pro, fun sequencial climbing on great rock. A few long runners are useful on the bottom to prevent rope drag.

Comments: I broke the jug on the right side of the arete just below the third bolt today. I also broke part of the hold on the left side at the same spot and a key foot chip (for me atleast) in the crux section. I doubt it makes the route any harder but clipping the third bolt is slightly harder.

Comments: Did this for the first time since that hold broke near the top and it was much harder for me now. Anyone else done this since it broke?
