Comments: Great route, thin crisp face climbing with interesting moves, with two possible finishes. A small cam can be place before the very high first bolt. There is also a big gap between second and third, but mostly easy climbing. Also, the crux move is almost at the anchors, so if you come off prepare for air.

Comments: uh....crimps under a low roof lead to body tension moves then to a long reach out to the end of the roof, bump up, heel hook, mantle to the top.

Comments: I believe both of these pictures are of a new(er) route that isn't listed in the DCA. I think they are Dennis Gasky routes...don't know names.

Comments: Okay...I'll add the details.
Located: About half way up Dillard Canyon...about where you would start Hypocrite's Corner. Head out on an low angled apron/slab to the start of the route. Climb a featured slab with interesting waves, up to a prominent black water groove. Follow the steep water groove past several bolts until the route angles off and you hit the anchors.
Gear: Standard rack, hybrid aliens work great, bolts, rap anchors.
and it's more like 190 feet....take two ropes.

Comments: First pitch is fun & interesting climbing on creaky flakes. Second pitch is really fun. You could probably stop at the first tree and rap.
Also, Annie is "down hill" from Hypocrite's Corner.

Comments: This route actually starts at the low roof with the hand crack but goes LEFT and up the face.

Comments: I climbed CL this past week and following the 5.8 terrain (crystal dikes) I only found one bolt, and one placement at the overlap...I also slung that tree down low...wouldn't have helped much, though. I may have been a bit too left also.

Comments: No move fixed nut...but there was a fixed forged friend on it this past weekend...
Great climb with a pu-pu platter of crack techniques.

Comments: Beautiful corner with great moves, especially up high.
A 60 meter rope will get you down from the raps rings at the top of the route.

Comments: Climbed this last weekend...good route that doesn't require the wide crack technique it may look like it needs. I used a 4 and a 5. Also, after clipping the bolt, I headed left to the bolts on Breakfast of Champions to lower off of. Sean and all, thanks for cleaning it up.

Comments: The tree is all gone. A shoulder stand from a partner will also do the trick...as I found out.

Comments: Agree about the bolt...would be better a touch higher and right. Also, this was covered in lichen.

Comments: Great route, a bit lichen-y...and yes it moves up and to the left of gear. This route eats up stoppers.
