Dikes of Gastonia
Has to be the widest dike I have climbed on. Did it in two pitches with Stacy. The first pitch offers the only 5.7 moves (slab between a few trees for pro-no bolts as referenced below). Then neat slung horn for station and off to the races on the dike (mid 5th at most). You only need slings for pro (horns and jugs). We simul-climbed just a little with a 70m rope. Can sling the very top of the dike with a 240cm sling. Rap is just up and right and then down the 5.10 route with a 70m no worries. One rap is hidden in a hole. Pretty cool feature, kind of makes it a must.

Skin the Cat
I led all of these routes in about one hour. Nice spot to finish the day if you have been out on the Great Wall or one of the other features deeper in. Indiscretion was my favorite by far, due to its trad nature. Real juggy. All of these are a bit soft for the grade.

Bomber Rock
I led all of these routes in about one hour. Nice spot to finish the day if you have been out on the Great Wall or one of the other features deeper in. Indiscretion was my favorite by far, due to its trad nature, but this short bolted route is probably the 2nd best of the group. Real juggy. All of these are a bit soft for the grade.

Crack of Doom
Not just at the grade, but close to if not the best route I have climbed at the City (Yellow Wall prob still deserves that title). The traverse in from the deck is interesting...some special footwork for me. The fingers went very nice with a foot behind me. The hands were so good and steep. Excellent route deserving of all the praise one can heap on it. The 5.10 to the right is worth doing as well.

For the experienced trad leader, this is not run out at all as a guidebook leads you to believe. I found plenty of gear. Cruxy in the middle, laid back beginning and end. I enjoyed it more than Tribal to the left.

A guidebook has this touted as being a bit better than it is. Then position of this face is fun with great views, but the route seem fairly mediocre to me. I enjoyed the mix lead to the right more.

Just Say Go is the best moderate on Elephant, but this arete is worth doing. No real crux, laid back for the grade.

I really enjoyed this spot in general. Great place to out wait the morning sun on Bird of Fire. Straight foward hand crack, fun movement, nothing out of the ordinary. With Alfred from CA.

Crack #6
I really enjoyed this spot in general. Great place to out wait the morning sun on Bird of Fire. I have led much harder 5.10's at Jtree then this pitch. It will feel like Jtree 5.9. Mostly hands and fists (found no need to lay back any of it), fun movement, nothing out of the ordinary. With Alfred from CA.
