First Ascent Jay Smith
The real name of this route is Thunderstruck. Funny, I don't remember placing six bolts on this route. I'll have to check my notes. Seems like it was mostly gear and a couple bolts.

Stout
Techy thin climbing to the roof, then powerful moves and liebacks around it to steep jugs with a pump. Good foot placement is key to decrease the pump. Reading this route and finding all the right holds is not strait forward on this one.

Strong route
Difficult climbing the entire way, the lower climbing is technical and tricky and the large roof is very strenuous. Once you are over the roof the climbing backs off and a few moves lead to the anchors. I used a green alien between the 1st and second bolt.
