Top Rope ascent by:
reachy third bolt
failed to negotiate the third bolt. My partner had to finish it for me. Even top roping this move felt hard. (one wonder move climb!)

Hang Dog ascent by:
Long reach for me
The middle section (3rd or 4th bolt) included a reach that was a lot of work for me and I ended up having to hang and rest between attempts. My buddy (who is a good 6 inches taller) was able to make a stem between some footholds and not have to bump his way across the face. All in all I thought this was a good but tough climb.

Onsight ascent by:
Wasn't me.
Did the direct start. A one move wonder past a bolt then you get the pleasure of clipping a rusty 1/4incher. Make a few moves and join the rest of the route. Some reachy moves, some balancy moves some easy moves. All have great rests in between so endurance won't be necessisary.
