4 out of 5 stars My 1st Route at Ship

It felt a little stout for 5.6 but maybe I missed a hold. Get's pretty exposed at the top. Very fun route. The TR anchor isn't too bad. There is a rock pretty close to the edge and some small trees further back. There is a Camming Device that is perma-stuck in the crack up top.

4 out of 5 stars My 2nd Route climbed at Ship

Did this on Top Rope from built anchors above the Tight Oyster route. Climbing the crack was easy and fun. Crux was def traversing left back around the corner into Popcorn Shrimp. Not the easiest route to build TR anchors for. Good exposure and great scenery!

4 out of 5 stars Thanksgiving Day Trip

1st problem of the day. Repeat for the camera. Climbed it first 2 years ago in a session with some friends from SC. I was the fist one of the group to stick the dyno move. I was a rock celebrity until someone repeated. Good times.

3 out of 5 stars Thanksgiving Day Trip

I did this 2 seasons ago - I vividly remember because I 'crunched' my wrist on the problem. I repeated it for the camera. It wasn't as hard as I remembered. I really want to figure out the sit start...

5 out of 5 stars Thanksgiving Trip

One of the first problems I tried at GMom 4 years ago. Almost every time I am there I give it a go. Finally worked out the beta and sent it. A great feeling. I actually pulled up first, then secured the knee bar and dynoed to the lip. Match hands, move feet to 2 nubs and traverse up and left to the mantle.

Top Rope Top Rope ascent by: spogam on 2011-10-08 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars hardest route so far for me at sunken

the start is great pulling a small roof. the crux comes right after this with 2 bolts protecting the fall. 2 good ledge rests after that thankfully because i was pumped. The first bolt is really high with a bad landing, falling before that clip would be rough.

Top Rope Top Rope ascent by: spogam on 2011-10-08 (View Climbing Log)

4 out of 5 stars Took a couple try's but I got it...

3 crux's and 4 bolts. 1st crux is where the piton is - moving up and into the crack can be tough. 2nd crux is pulling the ledge - if you fall before clipping the 1st bolt there is def ground fall potential. last crux is the top after climbing the steepening roof. couple of diff ways to climb the sections. great overall.

5 out of 5 stars Awesome, fun, scary route.

Did this on TR. 2 crux's. 1st is right above the bolt - double crimp to a jug that starts the shelf. Great rest on the shelf - you could lay down and take a nap. 2nd crux is the roof. Not that hard but really exposed and heady. It wold be big swing to fall from there. Great, great route.

3 out of 5 stars The first route you come to at Sunken. Fun and a little heady.

Did this on toprope from the Swashbuckler anchors. The first move and the last moves are the crux, the rest is fun climbing. Falling equals swinging, watch out for trees. Lack of clean falls earns it the higher safety rating.

4 out of 5 stars 1st time to Sunken Treasure. 3rd route climbed.

Harder than KUWTJ route next to it. 2 cruxes on this one. The crack start can be tricky - I had boulder pads at the base. Good rest leads to a roof with smaller holds including some quartz features and an overhanging dyno to a horn. Stoked to get the onsight on this one.
