Comments: There is now a tree growing just to the right of the big flake/horn feature. If you go to the right at that point, you definitely will be doing some bushwhacking!

Comments: I loved this route!!! Great moves and ample pro placements. Climbed it on a Saturday in mid October, and there were no other parties on the whole IRS Wall while Dairy Queen Wall and Hemmingway looked like mosh pits. It couldn't have been sweeter. Absolute classic!

Comments: A good crimpy route from the start. The moves are all there. I found the crux to be the lieback near the bottom. After that, it gets more manageable. Another fun route on this fine climbing wall.

Comments: I really enjoyed this spicy route. The hand crack at the bottom is great and sucks up gear. The traverse to the hand crack at the top is easier than it looks and takes small cams if you look closely at the horizontal seam. The top hand crack is even sweeter than the bottom. A really great route!

Comments: Followed this route yesterday with Mike C on lead. He led it easily. It's a sustained finger crack with some marginal gear placements. I had trouble in the middle of this route but eventually worked through it. Fun and challenging.

Comments: This is a fantastic route! There are great hand jams and finger locks throughout. It also requires some balancing acts in the middle.

Comments: A tricky lead for the grade, but a really fun route. You need to use your entire body to get up this line.
