Onsight ascent by:
Pockets... but no rest
Fairly straightforward. NOT cruxy at the bottom like all the other climbs on this wall, but no rest spots either - I thought it was significantly harder than Arete Horizon for just that reason. Pretty pumpy. The route description is not correct, it is 7 bolts and well protected!

Top Rope ascent by:
Varied Route
My first time on this one. Bottom is fairly straightforward, the flake is tough, and after the flake it's balancy and lots of mono-pockets. The last two bolts are 5.8ish.

Red Point ascent by:
Finally....
Redpointed this one. Took three tries. Crux is definitely the last bolt to the finish.

Wickedly Pumpy
Didn't look too bad until I got on it, but it's a sustained overhang. I TR'ed it and had two hangs because I didn't try holds out far out to the left/right.

Get the start and you're gold
Fun route, cruxy bottom but then it's big (sharp) pockets all the way up.

Hang Dog ascent by:
Tried again...
... and still can't clean it a year later. Clipping the 4th bolt is problematic - you have to traverse a horizontal crack below the bolt and if you try to clip from that crack you'll come off, so you have to finish the traverse and then clip from a right hand layback at the same height as the clip. Stiff finish unless you find the magic pockets. I'd rate it a 10a because of the technical nature of the finish.

Overhung fun
Easy approach, but once you get to the bolts it's all slightly overhung. The holds are there, you just have to move thru them quickly. One left hand layback on a small flake near the shuts.

Short n' pumpy
Super fun little route, gets pumpy at the 3rd bolt but there are plenty of good holds (especially the flake on the right). Straightfoward.

Finally
Have tried this one four or five times previously, but the start just blows me up. Got it this time by moving briskly thru the start and starting the traverse low (better holds).

Chunky
The feet were a bit slippery on the bottom section, but the hands are bomber so it worked. Liked the pull over the roof, very fun. Finding the super deep sidepull on the left made it easy.
