Comments: This is a perfect route for teaching basic multi-pitch techniques. You can lead the 1st pitch and deal with the uncomfortable hanging belay, then your second can have the more fun 2nd pitch and a comfortable 2nd belay ledge. It was certainly nice to have the option to link up to the upper pitches of Big Time (which we did) - that final pitch is stellar for the grade (5.7).

Comments: If you lead 5.8, getting to the first bolt is no problem. Climb to it using the "gully" on the right, just below "Piece of Cake (5.7)". If the first bolt is hairy to get to, it means you probably missed the first one and headed for the second - only the tippy top of the first bolt can be seen from the bottom.

Comments: The upper crack on this climb is some of the best and most exciting jamming I've done at the city. This route takes all sorts of technique. The crux for me was traversing right from the first crack to the upper dihedral.

Comments: All around excellence - superb flake that leads to a fun lieback. Just as the flake thins out, holds pop back out onto the face for a good, clean finish. Classic.

Comments: Another city trad route that climbs more like a sport route - I only threw one hand jam to get over the bulge at the very beginning of the climb, and even that probably isn't needed - I just found it the easiest way for me. After that, easy, fun patina pulling to the top. Takes gear of all sizes really well.

Comments: This is my favorite "early season" climb - a good one to get on to awaken the climbing skills after a winter of skiing. Enjoy the jugs.

7 or 8 bolts to a double chain anchor.

Comments: This is a great first trad lead - low angle and just eats cams

Comments: You should go to the main City of Rocks page on Mountain Project and click the "add area" tab near the top of the description. Then you can be the author of the Geowatt page! You can enter in routes and their descriptions: that is what makes MP so great - all of us climbers taking time to share our tidbits of information! Please get on it for all of us (I wanna climb these routes you speak of)!

Comments: Have yet to climb these routes, but love the fact that you used "pogue-ize" to explain the bolting. Any "city climber" will understand. And I will thank you for not "goodwin-ing" the route ;)

Comments: This was my first serious alpine climb that involved technical rope work. A great introduction, for sure. This route has it all - a long beautiful approach, loose rock, moderate run-outs, route finding, semi-sketchy rappels, and an incredible summit. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Took a rack to 3 inches with doubles from 0.5-2 and a double set of nuts. More than enough (although TCUs would have made life a little easier).
