4 out of 5 stars A wise belay stands off to the side

Crumbly start, but not too bad. I agree that the last and/or second to last bolts are placed oddly- the drag at the top caught me by suprise- got pulled off. Good times. ><

3 out of 5 stars Not great

Pretty crumbly.

Edit: just read my other log. Should have taken my own advice! The rain started just as I got on Beer Fight. That place hates me.

4 out of 5 stars Seems fun

Climbed this in the rain.. The 'cave' part was mostly dry, but the top was a slippery mess. Going to have to do this again on a drier day.

Why does it seem like every time I go into Avalanch gulch I get rained/blown out?

3 out of 5 stars Tricked!

After leading two other 5.8s on the island, I felt prepared for what looked like an easy climb. The first 2/3 is slabby with lots of holds, but after that everything seemed to disappear. It's possible I was off-route, but I found the sections between the last 2 bolts to be very challenging. I'll have to have another go at this one some day...

2 out of 5 stars Weird weather, sketchy rock

More rock crumbling off this climb than I'm comfortable with. Add that to the wind and rain ripping through the canyon and it was pretty much a bust. We were hoping just to warm up on this easy climb and then go try Fire Spire, but we got shut down. :(

Weather permitting, I don't think I'd spend the time on this climb again- there is plenty else up there!

2 out of 5 stars Meh

Topped a few different places along the main wall, but nothing was as fun as the climbs around the corner...
