Hang Dog ascent by:
My book said 5.12a/b
Well the start sure was tricky. ***Beta Spoiler: knee bar your right knee by the good hold at the end of the roof on the right. Then you can move your hands into position and finally bring your left onto the first ledge. The crux was definitely sequenced for me, and the fat hand jam has a hold that you can just crimp and layback with your left hand. I was pumped before I started the climb. GREAT climb though.

V5 boulder move off of the ground, scramble to slight overhand on crimps. Continue over lip on smallish crips/shelfs to jugs. Fixed anchors.
