Nice TR, now I'm all psyched to hit up Rumney again next week. Have to see if my forearms can handle all that overhanging madness.

I fondly remember going there when there were only 5 or 6 established routes... I can't believe you didn't like Dolt; it is my favorite 5.9 sport climb ever (and yes, it is a 5.9.) Sorry! I am prepared to try it again, just in case it was my headache that affected my mood.  But it felt so awkward. And I really don't approve of reachy clips on 5.9. Lack of crowds was definitely appreciated though... jakedatc wrote: we'll trade places soon enough when i get to be dragged around New River gorge and more of the Red. (i am afraid of what kind of payback is in store  ) Yes, be afraid, be very afraid! 
It's too bad you never gave Jolt a try - it's one of my all time favorite routes I've ever climbed. And Giant Man, a 12b to the far right (climber's right) that goes out the monster overhanging wall is also a three star classic. Jug hauls on a nearly horizontal route for 35 feet. It's spectacular! Get it next time!

I definitely would have liked to meet you both. and little E., too. I've heard accounts of her Clip A Dee Doo Dah climb! I hope she is all better now. Next time...
