Bruce Lee as FUCK
Nov 12, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. it'll go, but it'll take some work. need to do some core lol Gear: two green, three reds, a #3, a#3, a bunch of #4s (3-5 each), a #4.5 if available, probably three #5s. easy climbing up to the roof, commit to a butterfly stack as high up above the pod as you can and get your right heel in DEEP above your stack. once your heel no longer fits, fully invert, both feet first toe in crack first. don't forget you can use the wall as well. crux is the last 6-8 feet of roof where it gets steeper and the feet are less secure. I have not yet pulled the roof but there's features on the crack and wall that will be key. after is more #4s briefly then tight #5s (no knees) to the finish. bolt with a rap ring and tat for the anchor.

Raison D'être
Nov 3, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. Definitely went up with the wrong gear not knowing which route I was on. Mostly #5s and a #6 or two. A #2 can help protect the hand crack start (above the ledge) and a #7 or #8 could protect the squeeze (not sure which one). Felt spicy since I didn't have the proper gear, probably 10+ or 11- at most?

Dentist Chair
Nov 2, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. six #5 would be nice, seven is probably even safer. I took two #4s and a 4.5. the 4.5 was nice to have in the crux up top when it gets too tight for knees. there's a 4-6' crux at the top of the first flare. had to aid through until I could stack again. save a small #4 or big #3 for the last bit up top. I took five #5s, a 4.5, two #4s, three #3s, two #2s, a green, a 0.5, and a 0.4. could drop either the 0.5 or the 0.4. a #1 might be nice for the left hand crack before the ledge. an extra #3 for up top would've been nice perhaps, or just save a smaller #4. a 70m gets you back to the ledge on the climb to easily tie on a second rope. and 80m might actually get you to the boulder to your right on the ground

Scarface
Oct 31, 2023 · Lead / Onsight. place an orange TCU down low (from the rock if you need) then bring a green, two reds, 4 golds, and a purple or #3 for the finish. down low is good; I won the hand size lottery. follow the pods with your hands and feet (remember tops of pods for hands) then burn through the thin hands. top goes easy

Critical Mass
Oct 25, 2023 · Lead / Fell/Hung. slipped 10 feet from the chains... 1-2 #4s, (a 4.5 was helpful), 3-4 #5s, 2 #6s, 2 #7s. save a #7 for the wider part up top and a #6 to finish on. A few tricky spots, but the finishing bulge might be the crux

Annunaki
Oct 25, 2023 · Lead / Redpoint. second time sending. rack is 1 #2, 2 #1s, and 2 greens. place a green below the real fingers section above the pod. do this from a knee bar and rest up. left hand up to the curve, then right hand to the tiny shelf. flared paddle hand (left) in the pod to clip from. others do opposite hands for this section, maybe try that?
