1. Unnamed (so far) First accent: Dave Tucholke, Clay Hall, Joe Schmidt, December 2005 Bouldery start, then traverse right, and up the dagger. Formed for the first time this season. WI5
2. Clay’s Pillar First accent: Clay Hall, Dave Tucholke, Joe Schmidt, December 2005 Thin, freestanding pillar, to a couple of thin variations at the top. Formed for the first time this season. WI5 Note: Clay did not have a name at the time, so it has been fondly nicknamed Clay’s Pillar, though he may have a name to share by now.
3. Saddam Insane First accent: unknown WI5
4. Saddam’s little brother (or just “the little brother”) First accent: unknown Sometimes a thin smear forms in the corner 15 feet right of climb #3, climb up to a ledge, traverse left and finish on #3. WI5/mixed
5. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow First Accent: unknown When in, big and fat! WI5
6. Sick Puppy First accent: Dave & Mia Tucholke, December 2005 P1: A very thin smear 15 feet right of #5, marginal pro, belay on a fat ledge (one can bail to the right from here) P2: Surmount the exciting roof, mixed to a dagger, no pro until the ice, but by then you might as well finish to the tree! WI5/mixed
7. Psycho Cicle First accent: unknown A thin freestanding pillar WI5/6 Rarely touches down
8. More Junky than Funky First accent: unknown, but long ago Usually really scary in the middle, i.e. thin! WI5
