This is a sweet route. Not a cakewalk, but not punishingly desparate either.

My second trip up Zodiac. First was solo in 1982 so it was a 20 year memorial ascent. Got it clean this time.

This is one of my favorite routes, but then again, I like chimneys! I have done it a lot with friends and soloed it numberous times, using a rope on the harder pitches. Some folks love it, some hate it!

I liked the route but would suggest folks stay off it unless they lead 5.10 face regularly and have plenty of trad headspace. The moves aren't hard but there are some leadouts and old bolts.

This is a fine route that I have done several times. On a recent day climbing Stoner's, I took the best pictures I've even snapped in one day. See em when you <a href="http://member.newsguy.com/~climbing/Karluu.html"><b>read the trip report.</b></a>

I followed most of this route but thought it was stellar. I followed the 11D hands clean which means it ain't bad. The 11a OW is easier than generator crack. Still, this climb will beat on you if you are mortal like me.

This is a great route. I've done it 4 or 5 times but I always fall or hang somewhere. Just Amazing. BTW to the right of the 10a layback and 11a fingers to hands there is a meat grinder-like 10c variation that traverses left to the 10a variation after 25-30 feet. At least you can get pro in it.
