Sesame Street 

Worthy of more ascents. Airy and long for a sport route. A 70m rope is nice if belaying from the ground, though a 60 will just get you down if the belayer scramble up a couple moves. Knot the rope! If you approach the last bolt from the left, you will find the going much easier.

I did this route not long ago...was thinking I had never done it before. Only when I lowered off and pulled the rope did I realize that I had climbed it four years before. I absolutely loved it both times; it's long and full-value - runout on easy ground and adventurous the whole way! It's got to be my favorite 10c at Rumney.

This route is the definition of classy, multiple cruxes, run outs, and a beautiful view, what could be better :)

This route is quite long and fun. However, I would say many of the words used to describe it here could be used even more appropriately to describe Millennium Falcon... multiple cruxes, adventurous, beautiful view, best 10c at Rumney. Both great climbs!

With looming rain clouds, we arrived to a packed A&D this morning. Sure enough... lines on every route but this and toxic gumbo. This route was GREAT!

For me the first time on this route since 1994! Nice route. Low crux felt harder today than I remembered while upper slab crux felt easier because I went left and then back right. Nice long route if one starts from the trail with a 70m but rope drag is burly! 2.5 stars.

Finally got on this one. I wasn't sure as ".10c" is still intimidating to me, but I was glad I did. It felt, to me, a bit soft for a .10c, but I am a gym climber with strong hands and bad footwork, so maybe it's just me.

Edit to add: This route is awesome! Multiple, good, no-hands rests, yet the route still seems to flow and is not broken up by these rests. Straightforward fun! A must for any gym rat wanting a good 10c to try!

Nice work, Matt. It is time to clean up on No Money Down, Romancing The Stone, Clusterphobia, and Waimea. I finished my day yesterday on Idiot's Deluxe (next to ladder for Holderness Arete). The last half of the climb is very good. I think you will find it challenging and enjoyable.

So... I recall seeing a second pitch to this, I think. Does this second pitch go to the top? And is it fully bolted? I would love to climb to the top of main cliff , and would like it even more if I could walk off instead of repel down.

Matt, you were probably looking at the 2nd/3rd pitch of The Big Easy. Even more to your right is Bourbon Street, which has a definite crux, followed by a relatively long low angle walk to anchors. From either of those two pitches the White Buttress can be seen above, however, it's currently an unbolted trad pitch. A walk off from the top would be adventurous (by normal Rumney standards) and might lead you over towards the top of Orange Crush or back around the FAR left side of Venus. Much easier to make a few single rope rappels to the base of A&D. Be careful not to throw your rope onto the line of people climbing the 1st pitch of The Big Easy! :D

Thanks Jeff!

The shortest walk down from the top of the white buttress would probably be to head back to the trail and head left. Just after where it crosses the top of the Venus stream, carefully scramble down the exposed western edge of the Venus wall (it is a good idea to have come up it first, so you know what you are getting into)

An excellent route with, I think, more substance than other 10s I've done on this part of the cliff. I'm surprised that it still sees as little attention as it does; ours was the only ascent on a very crowded day. Give it a try--you won't be disappointed!

KNOT YOUR ROPE! I'd have fallen a few feet without it today. That said, great climb. Go straight up second crux, cause that's why it's a great climb. A stiff move though.
