The large wasp nest above and to the right of my head is a seasonal delicacy. Inquire with your server to see if it is available.

[Hide Comment] This is a 5.10-, not 10+. It's on the book as unfinished project, but the FA was already done. It's a one move wonder, I'd give a 5.10a. Sep 9, 2013

[Hide Comment] This route is called "Bad Choo Choo." It was bolted by my dad, Curtis Gibson, in the summer of 2007. Jun 13, 2014

[Hide Comment] I would definitely rank this 10a, it's easier than Rhino Rave nearby since there are great feet. If you get off sequence you will miss the great positive hands. Crux moves on steep section are very well protected so no biggie if you do miss them (like me). Mar 8, 2015

[Hide Comment] Light 10b, sandbagged 10a. A few awkward moves navigating various overhangs, but cruiser jug pulls throughout. Jul 17, 2016

[Hide Comment] Perhaps more difficult as an onsight, but definitely easier for my flash with knowledge of where to reach. Fun route, thanks Rustin! Aug 6, 2021

[Hide Comment] The hanger on the right anchor bolt was very loose yesterday. I hand tightened as best as I could but it deserves a proper inspection by someone with appropriate knowledge. Aug 12, 2022
