Not fun for short folks...
I'm not short and thought the climb was pretty easy, but my girlfriend is 5'6'' with a -2 ape and had a hell of a time on this.
The section around the 2nd bolt is unkind to the reach impaired.

Hang Dog ascent by:
So close....
Stupid slip after the boulder problem start, missed an obvious bucket moving around the arete.
Flashed the rest of the climb. Would've been my hardest onsite to date... blah.
GREAT route though.

Fun
The holds through the first two bolts seem to be pretty polished.
The climbing through them felt a bit stout for the grade.
Fun climb overall though.

Fun climb.
I thought the thin clip before the roof was probably the technical crux. The roof was a ton of fun though.

Red Point ascent by:
Really fun.
Got this one 3rd try. I don't normally work to redpoint climbs (or I'm just starting too) so this is a new experience. Took two burns on it Friday night, and new I had it the next go, but ran out of daylight.
Came back and sent it on my first attempt Sunday. Very cool climb, a nice combination of technical moves and some (Semi) dynamic movement on long reaches.

Unfinished business.
I tried this two years ago, WAY overprotected it and blew off at the Crux.
I went back this weekend and it felt pretty easy and straight forward.
This climb is no big deal, but has a high significant to me, since I remember it kicking my butt before.
It's also a very well protected route, and a great one to push things on a bit for new(ish) leaders. Hence the spanking years ago..

Fun
I was surprised this one didn't have a star in the guidebook. I thought it was a lot of fun.

Cool route
But I wouldn't describe the top as "slabby".
Maybe "juggly" but its still steep.

Fun!
The hand jams provide a really nice rest on this one.
Very cool route, keeps your attention the entire time.
