Onsight ascent by:
Craziness
Start was fun and edgy. Exited the corner right instead of left, felt harder than 5.8 and probably less protected. 2nd pitch corner felt a little tougher than 5.5 as well, but fun.

First @ 1st Return
1st pitch hard at ledge and at crux if you don't use jug @ left. 2nd pitch 5.5? Hardly. more like a few moves @5.7 then scramble to top to tree

Hang Dog ascent by:
Misread topo
We mis-read the topo and thought it was Second coming. Oops. Sure felt worse than a 5.7. Hangdog!
