Akward and not fun

fun onsight - belayed on the ledge just below the short but juicy offwidth section then scrambled another 180 ft to belay again - walked off the right/east side

I lead first 25', Toph up to just below the roof, and I turned the roof. Interesting line.

forgot when!

1/8/5:all three cruxes are fun & interesting - though the third sent me on my first leader-fall and dealt me my first climbing injury, being a sprained ankle (about a 24-hour twinge, there - thank you, ice & ibuprofen!). Definitely worth taping up for, and give the third crux a good look before you jump up there; a little pre-planning (maybe 2 moves ahead) would have saved me the trouble, and I'd have been climbing Sunday as well!

4/2/5 Led her again on the correct starter-crack (on the left) now that someone cut the tree - berk was gonna lead her but he got his arm-jam stuck and couldn't move past it - ended up falling on the arm-jam, shock-loaded it even, gave it a pretty good scrape. So anyway, the gear was up there so I led it from there and made the final crux first time, this time. This baby gets a little thin across the middle, and with its ledges there's some pretty scary fall potential. Weird seamy cracks, as far as pro goes. Made it, though! AJ followed and did some great stemming on the last crux there, then Jim came up it real quick-like.

Followed leinosaur up this fun route. Cruxes at beginning over first bulge, middle second bulge, and end. Very fun hand crack/seam.
