great off width layback
I led this (with a couple hangs) and enjoyed it. It's basically a 5 inch thick flake that lays on the rock but is separated from the cliff by up to 5 inches of space. Because the apron leans over, you can layback up this massive flake without too much strain. It does go on for a good 60 to 80 feet though, so your arms get tired. I had a 2 big bro and used that low down. I also had a 4 and a 5 camalot and walked those up with me. You can stop to rest a little by jamming your left foot and ankle in the crack, but it's not too secure. Up higher, the crack gets narrower. It's a lovely climb, but with the recent rockfall, which happened a month after we were there, it might be unwise to do. We didn't here a single thing fall in 2 days of climbing at the apron from the grack to son of sam...still, there are safer cliffs. It's a shame though, as there are so many nice climbs there. I heard one geologist say that later in the year (october) when the rains and freezing happen that rockfall is more likely...but I'm no expert

Burly Jam Session
I led this with a variety of jamming and lie backing. We were making our way up to Mr. Natural.

another one which is too bad
this one was pretty good, with wide jams on the start, but being in a rock fall zone, I'll never go back and do it
