Comments: We climbed this today and unfortunately did not have replacement webbing on us either. Bad on us - there's even a tear in the existing webbing. If we go up again we'll make a point of replacing it.

Comments: The "sweet variation", going right instead of left after the easy stuff, is pretty fun.

Comments: I sat on those ledges for a long time, then finally settled on a big traverse step to the right, just because the fall would be better. It felt like at least 10a. Later I tried the final move up from the ledges on TR, and made it, but it did feel hard. Would be even harder with less reach (I'm 6'2"). Then again, I haven't been doing much slab lately....

Comments: There's a route to the left that looks like it could be new.

Comments: I think the start is the hard part of this route. I like the way the edges appear as you go. The top move looks intimidating, but felt solid when I finally made myself do it.

Comments: The second clip is a bit of a puzzle to me. I made a dicey clip from below where I still felt okay about falling on the first bolt. The better, more liebacked, stance next to the bolt I would not want to blow. Love the climb, though.

Comments: I think the nice 5.7 is Mr. Wind, to the left of this route...

Comments: We pulled quite a bit of loose rock off this route this weekend, including one softball-sized hold. It will probably get better after more ascents.

Comments: Maybe the bomb is bit too harsh, but I'm stingy with stars. My wife, 5'4", couldn't reach the holds beyond the first bolt. I finished the route and thought the climbing wasn't worth the runout at the end.

Comments: I found the first pitch to be the best and hardest. My wife swung leads with me for the first time on this route - the regular bolts gave her confidence. We rapped Poly-Stick-Em with a single rope as Tony suggests.
