Red Point ascent by:
finally!
I actually had good weather and a nice warm-up session before coming back to Goodrich Boulder to give Tendon's Give another go. It took me a couple tries to get the link-up sequence down, but I was feeling pretty strong and confident.
The top-out is fairly simple, but has a horrible landing should you make a mistake. I suggest at least two pads and a really good spotter for the final few moves.

This problem has some really fun moves and is pretty tough for a V0.

Top Rope ascent by:
holy cats, this one is amazing!
I almost packed it in, but I was sweet-talked into doing one more climb. I wound up cleaning the route on TR, and I'm super glad I did. The view and exposure is amazing! Don't mind the poo, and wash your hands before you eat your snacks. :)

Onsight ascent by:
so much fun!
I almost TR'd this route, but my friend sweet-talked me into leading it -- and I'm glad he did!
I decided to stay in the crack as much as possible and avoid stemming. This certainly upped the ante, but it also made it a more interesting climb. At least, for me.

Awesome first ascent of the day.
This crack is really fun and has some interesting variations. It's easy to protect with a few mid-sized nuts and larger cams (1 - 4). Bring a couple extra draws to set up a top anchor, then enjoy the view from the top.
I decided to send it a second time on TR so that I could concentrate more on my layback and crack style without worry.

overhang?
It didn't *feel* overhanging. Perhaps it was the perspective.
The route is pretty good with awesome holds all the way to the top. Pretty fun for my first outdoor sport climb.

Fun little crack in the corner.
This is a crack on a slab, so it's super simple to pull your way up it. There's a few nice spots to stick a nut into for a very mellow trad climb.
Be careful of a large, loose rock just over the mini-roof. It will move very freely, but seems wedged in. Better leave it alone just in case.

Fun and simple face climbing.
There are small features all over the entire face, and routes galore. Two crisscrossing cracks on the face makes for several variations as well. 5.9 is very generous rating.
To set up anchor, climb up Sunset Slab, then work your way over to the three anchors at the top of the face.
I suggest you start the route atop one of the rocks at the base, otherwise a fall at the start might hurt a bit.

simple first climb to set up anchors
Right in the middle of the face of the slab, just to the right of the crack, is the easiest way up. There are anchors to the right, but nothing immediately above the slab face. Set up anchors using nuts in the cracks immediately above the slab face.
