Comments: There is a route around and to the right of Don't Damn it. It looks fairly new with about 7 bolts and a 2 bolt chain station (although the bolts and hangers, and cold shunts are new, but the chains are rusty??). Pretty easy, well bolted route, guessing about the 5.5- 5.6 range. Anyone have any info on this route?
Also there are no longer any chains or anything on the two bolt belay at the top. Plan a walk off unless you bring some slings.

Comments: Did this climb the other day. I am not sure I would call 6 bolts on a 125 ft climb well protected, there were a few areas were a fall would have gave you a few bounces on a pretty jagged rock. However all the moves were solid and the spacing on the bolts made you have to think about each move before you made it, not real hard but added the "meatball special" factor to it. Probably not a lead for a first timer.

Comments: Fun route the crux is right off the ground at the second bolt, the rest felt more like 5.6 or so. Also, the first bolt didn't make much sense. I never clipped it, since it was about 4 feet off the ground and wouldn't have helped much in a fall.

Comments: The book says all three crack moves through the roof are about the same, but I would say they vary a little bit in difficulty with the easiest being from right to left. Anyone you pick however, I still felt calling the move 5.7 was pushing it a little. Even on toprope the easiest crack felt more like 5.8.

Comments: Did this climb today. While the moves where all there I was somewhat surprised that it was sustained at 5.6 (if that is even possible). Probably just me, but anytime I get on a 5.6, visions of the First Flatiron come to mind and the easiness of it. Good fun climb though the angle makes it great for smearing. Also, went straight up at the second to last bolt which supposedly ups the rating to a 5.7. I recommend it, made it more fun.

Comments: Did this route today. Lots of fun. After the 3 pin anchor, we continued straight up into a roof and crack system. It was an awesome varation and protected very nicely (there was a fixed cam in the crack). Does anyone know was this varation goes at or if it was part of another route? My guess would be around 5.8-9.

Comments: Did the first pitch of Subterranean Homesick Blues yesterday in howling winds. Does anyone know what the other routes to the right of this one are? I think someone had fun with a bolting gun, there must have been at least 10 new lines.

Comments: I found this route to be a little soft for 5.7 but I still thought it was a really fun lead. The steepness of the line made it all the more fun.

Comments: Just lead this for the first time this last week and WOW what a cool move off the deck. I would definately say that the first move is pushing the 5.8 envelope but the rest of the route is at best 5.7.
