| One of the more mellow 5.7's in the Park. Not 100% sure where the 5.7 move was but felt like it was there somewhere... |

| Top roped the 5.9 arête just to the left of Life's A Bitch, some fun huggy moves, worth doing as long as you're up there. You can use the same anchor you built for Life's A Bitch. Start in the dihedral with bush and then "hug" the arête all the way up. |

| Not a bad route just way too short. Take note that there are no rap rings on the bolts up top. There is some webbing and cord thru the bolts and one of them is an old 1/4 inch bolt. The one bolt needs to be replaced and rap rings installed. It also appears that some bolts on the climbers left were chopped. I don't believe these are convenience bolts since there is not a safe walkoff that I could find. |

| Fun route that eats up gear! Anchors at the top, though webbing may need to be replaced soon... looked at worked just fine, just about anyone's guess as to how old it was. |

| Climbed this route today, and old webbing on the rap anchors is not an issue; someone added a pair of quick links to the bolt hangers to the right of the top of this climb.
The rap anchor can also be used to TR Marital Sin, which is 5.10c, but if you can't climb at that level, it's still fun, the hard part of the route can be skipped by traversing to the right below the first bolt, getting a foot on the large knob overhead, then stemming out to the only obvious hold to your left to get back on route. |
