Flash ascent by:
Washy/Windy
1st time leading , still one of my fav.'s at Moores. Watch your placments , there are plenty but some areas have poor rock quality. Stay on the washboard face at the top and don't go too far right into the really easy stuff, the rope drag in that area will make you think your draging a small child behind you. Climbed right after the 1st P ledge to the tree where the slings and rings are (top of P1 of Hopscotch) and rapped from there, much easier than going all the way up and around to Sent. rap station. Throw rope climbers right a little and a single 60m will hit the ground.

First Lead
This was my first lead. A lot of fun and a great start to the day. We're still very new to climbing and pleased with how much Moore's had to offer. This especially. Had some really nice views form the belay ledge too.

Everything else was super wet so I followed up again and this time we went all the way up to the top. Regarding P2, it's 5.2ish, third class scramble, then a little more easy 5th class near the end. Just don't pull the sketchy piles of choss down while you're moving up. One of my partners likened it to an alpine summit pitch. Nice view and the hike to the sentinel buttress descent wasn't a big deal; just a short 20' or so low angle down climb to the rap station.
