Very Fun Sport Route
This has to be my favorite route at Table Rock thus far. This was my third ascent and I lead the full route each time. The bolts provide sufficient protection, I found no need for any additional gear. This time, I did clip into a nut located in the crux overhang on pitch two that someone left behind. We did this route after climbing North Ridge and rapping down the third pitch of The Cave Route. I would recommend this route to anyone.

Great Trad Route
Didn't use the start at the top of the bulge, instead starting at the bottom side facing the gorge. There is a nice little overhang at the start to stash your gear under in case of rain. The entire route can be easily protected with cams. I never used larger than a #2 BD but it did look like larger pieces could be used. The first pitch is the most fun and seemed a little stiff for the grade. The second pitch was really easy and was only worth doing for the sake of reaching the top. The holds are great throughout, even in the first pitch crux. We used two-way radios between pitches for clear instructions without yelling.

Dangerous Route
This route is the second route to the left of Entrance Crack. The 5.8 grade seems a bit too low for this route, especially compared to other routes. I completed Mercury's Lead the same day and this route was more difficult. There is only one bolt, with no chance of additional protection after it has been clipped. If you were to slip near the top of this route, a groundfall is all but guaranteed. I would not recommend leading this route. I have to admit, I was nervous on this route, especially near the top. Having completed it, I will not try it again.

Great Lead Climb
Lead Great White Way, White Way Direct, and Yardarm today. This was the most difficult of the three. The opening moves were the most difficult but were well protected by three bolts. I found no need for any additional gear even though there was some runout between the bolts. I would highly recommend this route to anyone that can climb slab. If you can get past the first three bolts, the rest should be easy.

Runout but Easy
First time leading this route. It was a bit easier than anticipated. The only problem I encountered was loose crystals/tiny stones that kept me cleaning my shoes every few minutes. I would highly recommend keeping your shoes clean if you want to continue to have good traction. The holds are actually pretty good, especially if you keep your momentum up. Don't worry about extra gear, the bolts will provide enough protection. However, if you are not well versed in slab, I would not recommend attempting this route.
