Myself on End of the Innocence. Belayed by Ron L ...
Description
This is the first route you will come across after passing the south end of the bluff.
Gain the first bolt after 15 ft of easy climbing. A longer draw on the first bolt will hang better. Climb the increasingly steepening face (slab-near vertical) right of the bolts using horizontal seams and face holds. The route finishes with an interesting lie-back/undercling move to gain ledges right of the anchors.
be careful when belaying here and the route next to it, there is a large underground bees nest hidden under a rock next to a tree right where a belayer would stand. A friend got stung several times recently and we had to take him to the hospital, so don't set gear or stand on that rock.

Given the well-protected and engaging climbing it offers, this route is destined to become very popular.
"End" and "Curse" were both fun climbs, and the first time leader with me didn't think they were overbolted. Believe it or not, I had a great time just climbing instead of angrily calculating the # of bolts per ft...Thanks...
