Comments: For sure worth doing. Just bring more gear than I did. And preferably have a bit more experience... doing chimney stuff, or I don't know If you could call it that... Bring long sleeves and long pants. My partner (after belaying me for an extended period of time) actually let me know that we would never do an offwidth again. Ever. He didn't even try it. But I would say do it.

Comments: If you've done this one try dazed and confused on the lenticular dome, it's a bit more run out, but if you're comfortable on loose lady then there's nothing surprising on dazed and confused. I'd almost argue that loose lady is a bit more difficult. And this thing is not 10a. It's awesome, and fun, but it's 5.9.

Comments: I hate this climb. Both time's I've done it. I hated it. Maybe I'll like it on my third try, third time's a charm.

Comments: Difficult boulder problem start (harder than 11a, but not crazy) followed by 5.9 and 5.10 moves, I think. Fun climb.

Comments: The 10a hands section was more difficult and frightening to get out of than anything on the 10c crux. We did this in two full on 70 meter pitches. I was lucky enough to enjoy leading both of the hard parts.

Comments: Take .75's and 1's. I ran out of gear, and was running it out bad. I also had to french free to make this one. Unbelievable. My partner told me that I actually let out a sustained whimper on part of the climb.
