No good locks for fat fingers for a bit. Felt harder than .11a to me!!!

This was one of our favorites of the crag. We combined one & two but didn’t climb three.

Bring a lot of gear and be prepared for heady climbing above small gear. Great route.

This has ample protection. Not even close to “R”. Worth giving it a lap.

80 meter worked fine. Tie a knot at the end. Not PG-13. Super safe.

Stout .10d and would be tough to onsight. Very elusive to figure out the way and gear placements. PG-13ish.

Opening move is 11b. The slab moves above are more like solid 11d.

I lunged left on the OS. I felt it was .11c. Going straight/right would put it closer to .11d.
