[Hide Comment] Mojave Limestone lists this route as Ricochet, which has made for some confusion around which line is which. Regardless of what you call this line, it currently climbs up and traverses right into Point Blank and does not finish straight up. Personally I think leaving it titled "unfinished" for now is appropriate given the strange nature of the line, but perhaps it would help to align the name here with the book to lessen confusion.

[Hide Comment] Thanks Kyle. I went ahead and labelled this one Ricochet and the one to the left as Pistol Whipped as it seems least confusing. I think it is preferable if routes have a name rather than unknown/unfinished if they are climbable, which it seems like this one is, even if its a bit weird. If anyone has more info on the names please feel free to suggest an improvement, but this looks like a clean solution for now. Nov 21, 2023
