Comments: That's everyone's favorite, ss-super bomber; the back-handed reverse gaston! Rare and coveted.

Comments: The first pitch of this route is the access to the fixed line to the second tier. Climb up and you're on the second pitch proper, just right of the Paparazzi arete.

Comments: Did the route, had a blast, the final 5.7 pitch is fantastic climbing, 5.7,5.9 whatever, it's a stellar pitch. Moutaineering with sport bolts, fun fun fun. We rapped the route, you can learn a lot by doing this, don't be lame and short change your self on this valuable experience.

Comments: Kinda liked this route not as bad as i thought it would be from the guide book. I've clipped far worse bolts and much more runout stuff. Give it a try.

Comments: I must admit, the beginning of P2 and bulge crux on P3 of Streaker Spire seemed harder than anything on this route. A fun climb but everything is there as far as features go, you just have to know how to use them.

Comments: I'd say its a bit more like 100 yards up from the deceptions. The straight up line is a blast!

Comments: Sorry FUNGUY, no such luck, from the looks of the two shiny draws hanging, the second one way off route I might add, the poor individual pitched making the third clip & decked, Haaard. Fresh blood at the crag, kinda surreal. Hope they're ok.

Comments: Looking for info/history on Pumphouse area, specifically the lower section accessed from the bridge, anyone? There seems to be a bit of work put into some fun routes, also stumbled upon a hidden .12 or .13, yikes, looks stellar! Thanks!

Comments: My vote 5.10a. Reality check, clipped the bolt on P4, went WAYYYYY too far left, shit started breaking, realized thats not my goal, came back, stared at the holds above, got heady, plugged a #5 just above the bolt, feeling good about that and went for it. My second told me I never clipped the #5. It's all in your head sometimes.

Comments: Did the Mace on Sunday, Feb 1st. Last pitch is a blast, one of the best pitches I've done in a while. Although I found it a bit harder than 5.9+, more like a 5.10b. Physically demanding route you'll use every part of your body on. Great top out. We opted out of the lean/jump pitch because of 40+ mph winds. Long pants and shirts are useful for the full body jams! Have fun!

Comments: Second the warm-up quality of the route, we need more moderates at the pit. I like using the arete though, keeps it stellar! I'd go with the 5.9+ only because the top can be a bit dicey with out any beta on the low right, hard to see from above, foot. Thanks guys!

Comments: We did the raps with one 60 meter rope. Agree with the wide Climbing not pretty just a dirty fight with the rock. Great summit though. A solid climb.
