Centennial 

I'll respond to Paul Findley's question about routes below the Practice Rock from the Bowling Alley area to try to move some discussions off the Pinchusion route.

You can see from the picture of Centennial that it is one of the routes.Several of the routes are in the database. Some are not as they were done by another climber and the names are not known.

Here is what I know (the ratings may be off +/- many letters grades):From left to right (walk uphill past the big tree in the picture)

1. trad short crack 5.10? (recent new route)
2. Dry Run 5.9 3bolts
3. Happy Ending 5.10 7 bolts (with hard move getting to anchors)
4. Father Figure 5.11b
5. Shady Deal 5.11 stemming dihedral
6. Splitting Hares 5.10 (pictured)
7. A Tall Cool One 5.12 9 bolts
8. Centennial 5.11c/d (100ft pitch)
9. Curb Service 4 bolts (on a block separate from the wall) (2 routes on this block)
10. Just Like Nebraska 5.11d (100 ft right of Centennial)
11. Zee Eliminator 5.10 (1980 trad route)

Thanks man!

This route has some great moves. The highway noise is as bad as it gets, but then that's what you'd expect with a 50 foot approach.

There is a big ledge about 60 feet up the route. The headwall above this ledge has a tricky move above the 2nd bolt (8th bolt overall). The belayer cannot see the leader at this point, plus there is a good amount of rope stretch so a fall can result in the leader hitting the ledge.

The right to the left, Splitting Hares, has a similar upper headwall above a ledge with a hard move at the first bolt. Be careful here too.

Felt hard, but maybe I was slipping off too much on lichen and loose rock. It might be worth more stars after a good brush-down. Harder than the supposed 11d/12a to the left, and slippery in a few spots.

This route has cleaned up very nicely, and the upper pitch is among the best I've done at the Bowling Alley.

It has cleaned up very nicely & become a worthy route. This would still be a tough on-sight.
