4 out of 5 stars I think this is just to the left of Festoon.?.?

If this is the climb I think it is, use the same belay ledge as Festoon. I cleaned the bottom section quite well and now it is a deep finger crack. The middle section moves through a wide flaring crack over the roof to a large ledge where the bolt anchor is located. This route can be wet due to the moss ledge above it. This is an enjoyable climb

4 out of 5 stars First pitch is great for beginners, second is tricky!

The first pitch would be a great beginner lead. The second pitch necessitates runners for the rope drag. The crux is definitely under the roof on the traverse. Handholds are solid, but feet are scarce through this traverse section.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful crack climbing!

This is a great route. The original rating on this thing is 5.9+ but the first pitch definitely goes 5.10a, and the second at 5.9.

5 out of 5 stars Must do.

one or two cams in the crack before the first bolt on the face. The bolts are run out, but the climb is a must do for Archangel Valley! the stemming between the dikes is awesome.

2 out of 5 stars This is the third pitch of the Toto buttress

This is the third of six pitches of the Toto buttress. This is the least enjoyable pitch with some grassy ledges. This is probably 5.7, with bolts leading you onto the arete around the corner/roof to the two bolt chain anchor. From the top, you can see the next pitch which is a short 5.9+ finger crack to another two bolt anchor. The whole six pitches go: 5.7, 5.8, 5.7, 5.9, 5.10a, 5.10a.

4 out of 5 stars cruxy right off the deck

This is a good climb. Good finger crack until it meets up with "the slot". Bring small cams and nuts for pro, then bigger cams up top.

5 out of 5 stars Good times

Don't climb at the diamond without climbing Festoon. A little run out between the flake and the first bolt. I tried to clean the dirt out of the corner the best I could last week, so should climb better!
