Top Rope ascent by:
bailed
Bailed from the lead, not wanting to risk a fall onto the boulder from the moves getting into the crack. On TR, I discovered that they weren't bad after all, but better to bail than to be broken. Cruised on TR.
Did the start statically each time with a low right foot on the face, then a high step to the big slopey foot.

Onsight ascent by:
Heady
Especially heady getting to the third bolt when you don't see it and head straight for the fourth bolt! Oops...

Red Point ascent by:
Solid lead!
5.10c is probably more realistic. The move past the first bolt is not easy, and the moves beyond don't ease significantly. More sustained, I think, than Forbidden Paradise and definitely more run-out. This route is given an "R" rating in some guidebooks.

Worth a run up...
If you're in the area and waiting for Gargoyle, this is a good, well-protected alternative.

Fun line...
Easy for the 10a rating... perhaps 5.9. Fun climbing with solid jams and jugs, then a little "it ain't over 'til it's over" slab at the top.

Hang Dog ascent by:
One hang...
One hang at the crux move to the horizontal about 20' from the anchors. Great line that would be a fun lead with another bolt or two. Soft for the 11b grade given in the guide.

Mariah
First lead attempt... TR'd a couple of years ago. A little burly and a lot awkward, but a Mission Gorge classic.

The Trauma
Probably a little harder than 5.6 if you stay right of the second flake/block.

Stout! Felt 10c/d to me. Easier if your taller or have really small hands. I don't fit either of those descriptions. After a dozen or so tries at the start, I pulled through the crux start and cruised the rest of the route.
