Comments: A total classic. 10 stars. Movement, position, and holds that you will remember for a lifetime. Highly recommended. Hard if you're short.
Okay now for some very valuable beta. Do not climb the first pitch of Absorption to access the belay - climb the first 2 pitches of the 11 a/b to the right, respectively 5.9 and 10b, at the end of the second pitch look far left and traverse over to the anchor that's 10 feet right of the Mormon Tea bush. You can easily combine these two pitches with slings on... more >>

Comments: A freakin great route! Interesting movement, bullet rock, nice long crux. Do this route! Either hard 12d or soft 13a, you choose.

Comments: Not a huge fan. Which I was really surprised about after totally loving it's neighbor. Great rock, but very awkward movement and a downright awful bolting job. The finishing boulder problem is interesting I suppose, but save your skin and climb Rollercoaster instead.

Comments: As par usual, not sure on the grade. Prob v10 I guess, but it felt a lot harder than Plumbers Crack Traverse or Slice N Dice, whatever.... try it!!

Comments: Would be nice to add a lower anchor- I think it would definitely increase the traffic (and add a star)... there's just too much 5.9, filthy terrain above, that isn't worth cleaning because the angle is so low, it will always be dirty. I'll add a lower anchor hopefully in August.
Bottom is cleaned up... This is fun! and hard! try it!!!!

Comments: Finally got a chance to try this rig yesterday. It's a cool line for sure. Could still use a little more cleaning, maybe move a bolt or two, but for the most part it's bomber and ready to go. I did all of the moves through the route but was somewhat stumped at the last bolt... the sun was setting and my patient belayer was losing her patience (understandably). Very hard move up top off an improbable sloper, but I suppose I could have missed something. Seems like putting it together will certainl... more >>

Comments: A cool boulder problem of a route! 13d. Spring of 2011 I broke off the left hand 'jug' around the third bolt or so... opps! thankfully the route still goes using a rattly finger lock right next to where the mini jug was. It'll change the foot beta (once above) for taller climbers too. Definitely a touch harder, but not sure if it quite warrants the 14a grade.

Comments: Whomever stole Metolius Logo draws off of Dreamcatcher and two Black Diamond locking biners from the anchors of Grand Ol Opry is a bad person! Stealing draws is NOT COOL. Please, redeem yourself and put them back!!!!!!!

Comments: It's come to my attention that someone has stolen draws off of Dreamcatcher and the anchors from Grand Ol Opry. Stealing draws ranks among kicking puppies on the ultimate list of duche-baggery. I donated these draws in the hopes that it would increase traffic on this otherwise over-looked gem of a pitch.
Keep your eyes out for any sketchy looking individuals (aside from myself) using team only METOLIUS LOGO DRAWS.
Lame!

Comments: Cheers, Jason. Yes, Book of Spells is awesome - it would be rad to see it have a repeat! I lowered onto Rain on the Mountain back before that wall had bolts - looked super super cool, I was actually hoping to bolt the terribly thin face to the left at some point...too hot for me now though. That's a very nice looking wall for sure. I doubt you'll be flailing on warm ups, but thanks for the funny image. See you around!

Comments: Nate- not sure where your headpoint is exactly, but be certain that there are no bolts in it. Nothing at the CROSSWINDS that is an acceptable gear lead (aka not a free-solo) has been bolted. I've seen a couple lines that will certainly go on all gear, and have even done one of them already- which indeed, was terrifying. Let me know if you guys do something up there! cheers
