X-Ray 

This climb is a gem - overhanging 5.8 with good rock throughout and interesting moves. Great fun and a good warmup for the harder routes on the wall.

This climb is called X-Ray because the FA was a free solo. Think about that when you are clipping your bolts.

Best sport route of this grade in So Az.

I replaced the leaver biner on top of this one with a locking biner. It is obvious that people are top-roping on the biners up there based on the wear. Also, I find newer climbers were unsettled about the mussy hook without a gate on it. Happy lowering!

Hey Chris, I appreciate that you are helping by replacing the worn carabiners. I would encourage you not to use lockers however as people lock them and they often need pliers to unscrew. It also makes it hard to clip them on an onsight lead of the route.

I would also suggest to everyone that they use their own draws and quit top-roping on them.

Newer climbers are nervous about lowering anyway. Explain the physics of it to them and they can teach themselves to use their rational brain to overcome an irrational fear which will help their climbing in the long run.
Thanks

EFR- Good call on both. The locker will probably backfire and make people toprope on the leavers even more.

"Newer climbers are nervous about lowering anyway. Explain the physics of it to them and they can teach themselves to use their rational brain to overcome an irrational fear which will help their climbing in the long run." -Best advice I've heard in a while.

I'll switch it out when I'm up there again. I still have biners to donate if you're developing this summer.
