Much like its neighbors
Slightly more numerous and positive holds than Tin Tangle, but fewer than Alpha Centauri. Otherwise, very much the same.

A great day.
An amazing day, there was a meteor shower that night, before we started in the morning.

Decent
Flat in the middle, not super fun compared to the other routes.

Hang Dog ascent by:
First climb at Frenches
This seems to be the least popular of the moderate climbs at Frenches (at least it was on this day). I'd disagree that it's an "easy route for beginners." Ron Horton's book (Weekend Rock Oregon) describes it as the hardest of the 5.9 & under routes here and it was the hardest of the 3 we did this day. It kind of blanks out in the middle and was challenging for me. It was also the dirtiest of the climbs we did (dirt/pineneedles on several of ledges/holds).

Second Lead
This was my second lead. Quite a good confidence builder.
