Bad Motherflocker
Nov 29, 2025 · TR. Clean, crux is not the roof as it’s 5.9 at best. The thin slab is the crux and depending on slab technique capability will affect how you grade it. Definitely easier than the 10b at the moon and harder than 5.9 slab at meyers makes me put it closer to 10a. Having said that it feels more than one grade harder than the 10a route at this crag.

Corrugation Corner
Oct 3, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Singles 0 - 0.2, doubles 0.25 to 3, triples 0.5 to 2. All fine on climbing but more mental than anything. Consider slimming the rack, 0.5 not as useful as 0.4. Save one and two for pitch two belay. Top of route belay can be a wrapped boulder or 2,3 is useful in a horizontal low crack if you prefer

The Grack - Center
Sep 15, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Pitch one seems to have a few variations. Super topo makes it seem like you do the right side of the under cling flake bulge thing, this seemed pretty hard for 5.6, many others seemed to just go to the corner five feet right. Pitch two has the best and cleanest crack, pitch three gets thin and Peter’s out. It’s really a slab climb with pro in a crack more than a crack climb imo. As a result not that fun imo and I think over rated, better if you can end after pitch two. Belays aren’t super comfy either and pitch two belay wasn’t great for gear. It’s good training for slab I suppose as it gradually forces you to trust the slab more and more.

Sep 15, 2025 · Lead / Onsight. Single 0.2 and 4, doubles 0.25 to 3, triples 0.5 and 0.75. could drop a three and a 0.75 and still be totally fine. Only used one but, belayed off trees after linking p1 and 2. Ropes up for the “third class slab” haha. Powerful committing but all there and fun. Walkoff was totally ok but could see that when it’s wet it would be no fun.

Surrealistic Pillar
Aug 25, 2025 · Lead / Redpoint. Spicy, would have preferred a #6 vs a #5 for the P1 belay (0.75 and nut on left) - also needed longer cordelette. Linked P2 and P3, belayed off tree at top. Smallest gear used 0.2 (1), otherwise double black totems, doubles 0.3 - 3, Triples in 0.5-1. Rack was definitely overkill, single #3 next time and no triples! Run outs were easy enough, but not fourth class as some claimed. 5.4-5.5 at points with high consequence (5.5R guidebook rating seemed fair). Route finding for traverses tricky. Be prepared to adventure back and forth.

Going straight to the anchor is hard but 10c, going around the right is 5.9 but feels quite risky. Clipping the chains is hard, no great hold for that.
