salamanizer's Logbook (537 ascents)

Soft but totally awesome route.

a bunch of un interesting climbing to some bolts.

A great extention to slow dancer. Very exposed!!!!

Couple of moves to gain the face then up a giant knob field to the top. Was so into cruising the knobs I accidently skipped a bolt.

A better start to over easy.

Not terrably exciting but fun. Some wasps down low slowed me down a bit but not too much. Plenty of knobs to tie off up high. Did it in one pitch moving far left to avoid the clusterfuck belay party on Gingerbread.

Climbing up some crispy junk, ducks into the corner to the left where someone added an anchor for some dumb route smack in the middle of the route. Then traverse back around the corner and head up some terrably diryt and despirately flakey rotten junk past some good runnouts to the anchors.

The last 30 or 40 feet of this wild steep route is kinda a bust as it's pretty dirty and gritty rock, but the climbing below is good. Some very exposed moves over steep to overhanging rock with a distinct but well protected crux.

Thin and sustained most of the way. Kinda hard to read in spots but it's all there. After you pull around the arete at the last bolt you have to endure a very dirty 20ft runnout to the chains. Kinda a bogus ending to a well protected sport route. Not on my recommended routes list.

The first pitch was a cake walk. The start of the second pitch was more easy but run out climbing for the first 70ft. Mostly 5.7/8 with an occasional .10 move thrown in. Then it began... The route pulled onto a small ledge with only one good placement. The only way to go was right then up through a series of gigantic 3/4in vibrating flexing flakes. No reliable pro and 5.10 climbing brought me to a blank slab where a bulge on dime edges had to be pressed out. With thick lichen crunching under foot and solid 5.10 slab ahead, you then climb only another 25ft to the first good protection in about 60ft. Dont blow the top out.

After the first pitch, you can climb up the crack above and traverse up and right to intersect with Psychedelic Tree. This variation is what's shown in the Carville guide and is the way to go if one values their health.
