Tick Man
Sep 24, 2020 · TR. TR'd off of the shared anchors with "Ticked Off." Fun route with an interesting & awkward start, but lots of enjoyable climbing!

Ticked Off
Sep 23, 2020 · TR. After getting over my frustrations of being on the wrong route, I bucked up and made a cleaner attempt on TR. The moves that go left from the ledge thru the last 2 bolts are SPICY. Fun route, though!

Ticked Off
Sep 23, 2020 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Once again, this area pulls the old switcheroo on me! Climbed this thinking I was on Tick-Man. So when I got to the spicy, thin moves at the top, I was, indeed, "ticked off!" A .10c is not my idea of a warm up, so my ascent was more of a "hang-dog A1."

Sep 13, 2020 · Lead / Onsight. Similar to both routes next door. Long and varied, Surprisingly enjoyable.

Last Chance
Sep 13, 2020 · Lead / Onsight. Not as long or exciting as the the other routes on the wall, but still worth doing. Straightforward climbing with plenty of bolts for a new leader.

Golden Light Gainer
Sep 13, 2020 · Lead / Onsight. Other than the small bulge, this climb feels similar to the three 5.7 climbs to the left. Long enough to stay interesting, fun and varied style, well protected. Not sure I would give it a 5.9 - maybe a 5.8, depending on how you climb through the bulge.
