Description:
To the right of Hawaiian noises, this route has a bold start if you don't start from the bottom, but starting from the block makes it a low 10 climb. There's a 3/8 bolt to protect the traverse from the block, but Jan 2003 it was missing the hanger. That traverse is easy, though poorly protected.

Terranean Tango from the boulder is great!
Like a lot of other folks, I started this off the boulder to the right of POD. Some of the moves sliding to the right and the left were a little hairy, but it was pretty smooth sailing with no surprises throughout.
I highly recommend that belayers anchor themselves to the boulder.. please take it from experience that this is a VERY GOOD IDEA!!

Top Rope ascent by:
Did 10a starting from the boulder
Stepping onto the climb is an interesting feeling. Most of the climbing was easy though, felt like a 9. I seconded, leader was not crazy about the 10-12 foot runout after the 2nd bolt.
