Comments: Very nice route, and it felt like there was a lot going on in this short route. Tough start I thought - if you arent a strong 5.10 leader you might consider stick clipping the first bolt or 2....

Comments: I agree that this isn't a great BEGINNER lead, but it's a fun route for those beginners looking to push themselves a little. And it's pretty short and well bolted. All the bolts are in great shape as of yesterday.

Comments: Fun day out and had the crag to ourselves. Things of note: lots of wasps all over this crag - and this after the canyon got below freezing last night - be aware. Also - the D'Antonio guidebook has I'll Be Dipped, Square Dance, and Hoo-Doggy with separate anchors, but we only found 2. The approach is steep but very manageable.

Comments: As of today, this new route is still quite dirty - wish I had brought a small brush along....

Comments: This route ascends left (pendulum potential) and ends only a few feet from the anchor for Gneiss Lee Done (.10b). If you want to make a run at the harder Gneiss Lee Done and don't want to lead it, you can move over and setup a toprope from here (the top of Mike in the Fast Lane).

Comments: We had this place to ourselves this morning. This is a really fun crag close to town. If you like very well bolted moderates, this is a good place. The approach is short and only a bit gnarly coming off the road. Belay stances aren't ideal. Nice work by those that put up the routes - thanks! Oh - and we were in the shade all day....

Comments: A decent, easy, slabby, short beginner lead route....

Comments: The crux seems to be between bolts 1 and 2 - it's a little thin if you don't go too far left - once you hit the third bolt and those great flakes to the right, it's smooth sailing.

Comments: The slabby section everyone speaks of was the crux in my opinion - was a tough lead for me. Also, Holiday Road is very close to you on the right and it's easy to be lured just off route to the right (you can see chalk there, etc.), but that is part of Holiday Road. Stay on the slab as there is at least 1 nice left hand crimper to use. Route is in good shape as of yesterday.
