4 out of 5 stars Nice route, good exposure

Fun climb, varied. Pitch 1 was a mix of cracks, dikes, and some flakes. Pitch 2 was more dikes and slabby - though I used the off-width crack a bit (5.8 variation). We got off route at the end, and went a little too high, and had to traverse back left on the start of Pitch 3 to regain the arete. Fun climb for sure.

3 out of 5 stars Surrealistic Pillar

Lots of fun on a very windy day, but nowhere near on par with Corrugation Corner. Climbed with Brad82, I led p. 2. There's good gear at crux sections but lots of R/X terrain.

3 out of 5 stars pillar

cool crack moves on p1, p2 wandered a bit, and perhaps we got off route on p3 but it was super chossy and full of plants.

Second Second ascent by: sclaussen on 2009-09-12 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Bomber

We lead up to the set of bolts to do some top roping. I followed this route and found it exposed but with relatively solid bomber holds most of the way and the protection looked pretty positive until just before the bolts where you have to traverse over a bit to the left. We found the right most bolt a little sketchy - so we backed up our TR in the crack up to the right of the bolts. Bolts provide access to two or three great TRs - and from the bolts there's a sketchy traverse to another set of bolts to the left enabling a TR of a 12a with an absolutely exceptional 11d bouldering start.

5 out of 5 stars Finally got on this one

I've gone to other routes 3 times due to the line up on this one. It was good to link this with Corrugation Corner, but something better done on a week day when the numbers of people at the crag are down.
