Comments: Don't blow the crux move. I took a big whipper moving between bolt three and four. Popped my ankle enough to ruin the weekend.

Comments: Try a heel hook instead of the butt smear. Traverse right and throw up the heel. Much more aesthetically pleasing. I thought the under the roof move was pretty delicate.

Comments: The route's been up for nine years, but it felt like some of those flakes were going to rip off. Otherwise really fun and I think the geek out (see above thread) about the traverse right after the undercling is well warranted. I still can't tell if that stuff is poison ivy or something else. The internet provides enough variations of the plant that anything can be identified as poison ivy....

Comments: P1 kicked punted me after the crux. Deceptive route.

Comments: Fun- first 12a onsight- easier than p1 of Earth Voyage. Not having done much climbing in the area, I don't know what to call it. Either way you can move left of the crux and escape to an easier yet still neato 11c variation. I moved to the left, to anchors after the crux section. The rest of the climb may be fun, but it looked significantly easier and maybe a waste of time?
