Comments: What kind of effect is this? Weren't we there during the day?

Comments: Don't sling the horn mentioned in the description! It is ready to come off. A #3 Camalot in a pod above and left of the horn seems adequate.

Comments: One rope is all you need for the raps.

Comments: By Table Mtn. standards, this is a great crack climb!

Comments: My partner's 70m rope easily reached from the anchors to the ground. In fact, there was probably two feet on the ground. Either his rope is cut really long or the route is not really 135' long.

Comments: It's still a little dirty but fun if you like to Chimeny. I managed to clip one of my gear loops to the second bolt quickdraw as I moved past. Never had this happen in 29 years of climbing!

Comments: This is an enjoyable route but the anchors are set way back from the edge. Also, the chains do not equalize the bolts when rapping down.

Comments: Really fun face climbing! There is definitely gear between the bolts, and it is not "R" at all.

Comments: I combined the first and second pitches today and it made for a nice, long pitch. I had avoided the second pitch for a long time but found it to be fun and well protected with small nuts and small cams. I was pleasantly surprised to find the bolt anchor at the top of the second pitch. You are missing out on some good climbing if you only do the first pitch!

Comments: A fun route that is harder than it appears from below.

Comments: If you plan to rap from the anchors above the first pitch, bring a shoulder length piece of webbing. The slings in-place are cut, probably gnawed through by rodents. After the second pitch we rapped from the "Dum de Dum Dum" anchors to avoid the cut slings.

Comments: Easier than the off-width on the Grand Giraffe. I was glad to have 2 #6 Camalots and a blue Big Bro. The flake in the crack you can place smaller gear in is loose. This is a good climb if you enjoy a little groveling.

Comments: Slim, I think you are thinking of a different route. After the bulge the right of the twin cracks continues as a finger/hand crack to the anchors. It would not make sense to break to the right.

Comments: There is no bolt near the bottom (one is not needed) but the belays have bolts for an easy rap descent. A fun route to warm up on.

Comments: The second pitch is great. The first pitch is just so, so with two or three hard 5.10 moves.

Comments: Lots of lichen on this one, but the movement is fun and it is certainly worth doing if in the area.

Comments: No dynos are necessary at the second roof crux on the second pitch. I am 5'8" tall and did the moves statically at 11a/10d.

Comments: Probably a little easier than it is rated. There is some crumbly rock but the climbing is fun.

Comments: I agree with Roth. Harder than 9 and harder than the first pitch of Wild Child.

Comments: Climb this to get your self esteem back up after doing Huston Crack. One of the bolts does not have a ring for lowering/pulling the rope. It could use a quicklink for sure.
