Comments: Left behind a #1 blue Metolius Mastercam on P3 last Saturday. My partner couldn't get out. It'd be nice to get back (of course a nice 6 pack offered as reward).

Comments: You need to commit to the opening moves before you can reach the first bolt. If the first bolt was 6" or 12" lower this would be a much better route. I didn't see any good gear placements just below the first bolt, and it seemed a bit strange to commit with a bad fall potential on what ended up being the crux of the entire route.

Comments: Heads up, there were a ton of wasps around the base on 11/16. I got stung leaving the ground. Makes the start all that more interesting.

Comments: Got a blue (#1) Metolius master cam stuck under the roof on the final pitch on Ruper today. If you happen to get it out, it'd be cool to get back.

Comments: Great climb. Both pitches are on the spicy side but not bad. I enjoyed this climb more than both V3 and Gonzo. Definitely don't agree with the description of "A good climb for sure, but nothing spectacular." The flake on P1 is cool. I don't think it's going anywhere, but I also didn't even think of place any pro behind it. I got a suspect #2 Metolius curved nut in on P2 between the 3rd and 4th bolt, but it was probably just mental help.

Comments: The 2nd bolt seemed a pretty spicy with ground fall possibilities. The 6th both gave me some issues. I could have approached it wrong, but after a number of tries I couldn't seem to clip it prior to committing to the set of thin moves (I'm 6'1" btw). I ended up taking a bad fall here slamming the wall with my hip. It was fun up until that point.

Comments: Maybe my 70m rope is a bit longer, but I made it to the bottom just fine with about 6 inches of rope to spare.

Comments: I thought P3 was rather stiff for 10c.

Comments: Thanks to whoever took the time this week to cut down a few of the branches on the trail leading down to the Oceanic Wall and clean it up. That section was a real pain to get around.

Comments: I agree with Craig, it does look like this route was retro bolted and the anchor has one rap ring and a locking beaner on the other anchor so you can clean and lower off without using the Gully Washer anchor.

Comments: Easy warm up route. Did Stayin' Alive to make it a 2p climb.

Comments: Fun climb, did it in one pitch with a 70M rope. Can rap from the anchors down to the start with a 70M rope. Don't follow the crack too high on the first overhang or you'll miss the jug over the roof. Second overhang seemed a bit awkward.
