Hang Dog ascent by:
The soft 10a comments
made by others are BS if you are short. There are some technical moves here that will get you thinking for sure. Great route that has something for everyone.

Fun
An amazing 40' of climbing on the second pitch. Great pro and exposure.

very fun route
Two distinct easier 5.10 cruxes (might be 5.9 at a lot of other places). Well protected. Did this in mid July and was actually cold at the start! One of Shortoff's best climbs.

straight and narrow
knocked this and construction job out in one day, what a wonderful one.
Did this again 10/2009. Climbs better as one long pitch of 5.5 past the small tree by about 40 feet. Then do one long pitch all the way to the top. Climbs wonderfully.

A bit overrated
A few more delicate moves than nearby Construction Job, but not much harder. Good pro. Maybe the best 5.10 in Linville Gorge, but definitely NOT the best 5.10 in all of North Carolina. So far, my pick is Dinkus Dog at Looking Glass.
