3 out of 5 stars Havana Smack

May want to place a small nut (a bit sketchy) below the first bolt, as it's a bit dangerous.

3 out of 5 stars Thonga de T

Cool route; slabby with micro holds. Reminded me of the 5.12 pitches on Sendero Luminoso.

Gets better the higher you go. The crux is bouldery off the deck, then another at midheight. Easy for the grade.

4 out of 5 stars The Worm

Cool climb with nice tufa holds and a few moves that make you think. Felt easy for the grade. I've heard it's now rated 12c for the second pitch. The third pitch is super dirty, and a key hold is broke, so it's kind of sketchy, and the hardest pitch of the route.

3 out of 5 stars Shiwa

I'm kind of short (5'8") so the pocket moves were dynos for me. Pretty powerful route! Cool heelhook after the crux as well.

With Mike S. Mike led pitches 1 and 3, I led pitch 2. No-falls team ascent! Most likely the first onsight of the crux pitch. Amazing climb; really sustained and heady.

0 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

Aggresive climb with awkward cruxes and lots of slick rock. The cruxes where the 5.9 flares and chimneys, especially on the first and ninth pitches. Definitely use the left option to avoid the offwidth on pitch nine; it feels more like 5.11 than 5.9!

3 out of 5 stars Ascent Note

Take a blue TCU and a nut or two for the easier sections. The crux is bolted. An aggressive climb up an overhanging crack, with the crux getting into and then out of a flare. Don't fall while clipping the bolt at the roof or you could deck out!

An "anti-Smith" route in the mudpile cave. Very steep, with more outward and sideways climbing than upward. The crux is a powerful cross-through on a horizontal traverse at the 5th bolt. Cool route, with a couple holds glued in place. It is a mudpile, after all!
