Onsight ascent by:
Hardest 5.9 I've led up to that point.
Since then I've done The Yawn and Phobos which are slightly more burly. The 5.7 start is a bit scary and feels a lot harder. Battled stemming and liebacking at the top of pitch2, but my partner said he chickenwinged the crack and it felt reasonable. Don't really remember anything special about the traverse on pitch 3 but I am a Meadows slab monkey.

Hair Raiser Buttress
The bolts have been re-added and you'll be glad they were. Wild place, wild climb. Oh yeah ... the start.

Hang Dog ascent by:
Matterhorn North Arette
When you are on an overhanging hand crack you know that you are not on the 5.5 variation anymore.

Second ascent by:
Thy Will Be Done
The tree will bend away from the rock as you climb it making it the single weirdest move you've ever done. Have some slings/prusik with you when following the crux as you will hang in mid air if you fall. If your leader has you on a reverso you'll hava problem unless you can climb the rope.

South Crack
First pitch is sweet but the rest is not worth doing unless you want to test yourself on 5.6 slab soloing.

Great White Book
Second pitch is a solo unless you have a #6. The climbing is easy though so it is really all in your head. Good alternative when South Crack has an ant line on it.
