Comments: Good steep climbing on adequate holds, another great route at RR. The crux was pretty low for me, perhaps something flexible went away.

Comments: a very inobvious climb, I'd suggest tring VS before attempting to onsite to get used to the angle

Comments: P3 go up the obvious corner, 5.6 with a 5.8-9 move off the belay
P7 awkward stemming 5.7
P8 loose chunk near the top, its not going to last long and will most likely make it thru the belay and onto the route below. I hope nature or someone will remove it soon.
A great route!

Comments: Led this thinking it was a 5.7 and still believe so but wouldn't quibble with 5.8. a great route!

Comments: The left is definitely the lesser of the two, the right was much, much better. I'd say 2-3 stars with a spicy yet 5.8 finish.

Comments: plugged in a small cam and finished straight up instead of heading out to the last two bolts. A nice 5.8 if you skip the difficulties out that way.

Comments: Plugged in a yellow metolius next to the pin, don't replace it when it falls out. A definite crux in the middle for me.

Comments: Climbed the great crack just to the left of this yesterday thinking that it was Frankenwood 5.7 as per Rock climbing joshua tree. It was an excellent 5.7. Not many 95 foot climbs at this grade here that give good value all the way to the top. 3 stars.
Guess we were on Norwegian wood!

Comments: wear your bigboy pants to this crag, the routes are a bit steeper and much more sustained.

Comments: Can be lead as one long pitch if you have many draws or skip some clips.

Comments: Closer to a 100' to the chains atop Jello Tower but you can rap from them down the other side with a 50m rope.

Comments: Great route, thanx to John and Mary for teaming up on the descent! I thought this route was a lot like Pink Tornado Left without the gnarly walk in.

Comments: We did this route in 4 pitches. The traverse at the end of pitch one was not really a big deal after tiptoeing across the slab. With very comfortable belays every 60-100 feet there seemed no need lengthen them out. I'd suggest some armor for your right elbow on this one!

Comments: This was much easier to find than I thought it would be and worth the hike. A couple of hints about getting there; its pretty much right behind the bulkhead and it can be seen from the billboard area as a smooth dark wall above and slightly to the right of the bulkhead
