Comments: Classic and a benchmark for the grade. Ever-increasing difficulty to the top and sequency at the bulge.

Comments: I agree the extension on this didn't make sense (went right) and didn't really seem worth the effort. I could see it freaking someone out new to leading and seeking this grade. Bottom half was fun.

Comments: A favorite. Climbs slightly harder, though better quality, on a plumb line through the slab bolts all the way to the roof instead of stepping right.

Comments: This route is great. Continuous, great movement, great stone, and sack-up to pull the bulge. Another 20 ft. and it would be top 10 shelf.

Comments: This line should never have been bolted despite how appealing it looks from the ground. Dirty loose rock that will never clean up to a barely attached pillar with bolts in it, waiting to dump tons of rock on belayer and passers by. I downclimbed for fear of potentially falling on one of these bolts. Thanks to the equipper for the hard work, but no thanks.
