Description Suggest change

Long and thin. Crimes of O' was the first bolted route at the Dome and an instant classic.

Thin, intricate climbing through the first three bolts leads to a seemingly endless sea of crimps and sidepulls. A few good rests can be worked out if you have the body tension and calf strength to hold them. If you make it through the crux at the 3/4 mark just hang on for dear life as it does gain easier climbing above.

A pre-clipped second bolt is helpful although I led it without one, just have an attentive belayer.

HISTORY: Originally called, "Early Bird." The name was outright rejected by the unsanctimonious grounds under which the route was bolted. A compromise was struck.

Location Suggest change

Start 10 feet right of Interstate below a line of glue-in bolts.
