Anybody know what the two routes left of In Your Dreams are? Leftmost seems hardish 11, next route to right seems like 9+. Jul 10, 2011

I am not sure who bolted these or what they are called. I do agree, the farthest left one is about 5.9. Immediately right of that route is a newer route, I would say is 11a/b. The right one, which I did yesterday for the first time, is very fun. Watch out for a large loose rock right of the second bolt. There is also a significant run out at the top, albeit easy. The left route is a little more lackluster. Nov 9, 2015

How about the right slanting slab pitch two right of Sargasso Sea? Only did the first pitch, and it felt like hard 11 maybe? Mar 14, 2016

I haven't done that one yet, Richard. It looks like a good variation and the logical start to Mud Shark, as it follows the same weakness that forms the crux of that route. Seems like linking it would make for a fun and long traversing pitch. Mar 15, 2016

I picked up a shoe in front of Oceanic Wall on 7-22-18. It's a women's velcro Katana. Message me, so I can get it back to you! 3038700853 Jul 22, 2018 · Lost & Found
