Wherever my Van is.
[Hide Comment] So it seems maybe the L>R listing on these routes is a little off, or some are missing. Pretty sure I did Procrastination. There was another route to the left of this one about 15 feet or so, but it was wet. Then to the right is supposed to be a 10c, then 12c, then the 5.8 trad, but there is only one bolted route between Procrastination and the Love trad route. Pics of Procrastination and the trad route look correct. "Shrug" May 12, 2020
