Comments: Linking the first 4 pitches with TCTTTD was a good move for us. Very fun and cleaning up nicely down low. We didn't need anything but draws. Some might sling a couple of chicken heads or fiddle some nuts here and there.

Comments: Last I looked (8/2/11), there are no bolts on super pin. I think that might just make it an X.

Comments: On 4/10/10 there were 20-30 (honey?)bees in the last alcove containing the anchor. I couldn't tell if they were just getting a drink from the moist earth there or if they had moved in. Fun route!

Comments: Thanks for the great route development! All routes I climbed were very safely bolted and had great anchors. It's refreshing in this area to have thoughtful development happening. I have some gear I would be happy to donate to the cause.

Comments: I just did the first pitch. I felt the first pitch was easier than 5.9, short and really fun. The second pitch looks pretty steep.

Comments: I climbed it yesterday and stayed right and out of the gully all the way up. My version of pitch three was tricky and harder than 5.6 with a couple of manky old 1/4" bolts and some serious runout but the rock was great. This was the 4th time I've been up the route and staying right made it the best yet.

Comments: You can continue up and left on easy rock to the big ledge atop the fourth pitch of crosstrainer in one total pitch with a 60 meter cord. It's easier to do this if you start from the grassy ledge just below and to climber's right of the pitch two anchor of crosstrainer.

Comments: I saw that bolt. It makes sense that you would want to sling a tree considering its location. Slab face looks fun.

Comments: New bolts make this climb safer than the old 1/4" buttonheads.

Comments: I'm pretty sure I have felt the block that the anchors are in move when I've rapped off. Scary.
