Suprise
Plenty of air for great views. Some spicy moves for a 5.4 (especially for a 5.4 leader) so I was glad to be following. Done in one pitch.
I ran into a climber that day who was leaving long-term tree anchors (heavy duty wire wrapped in rubber hosing with large quick links).

Nice climb
First climb after a 2 month hiatus from climbing. Roof encounter is fun and exciting. Got off-route and wound up on the second pitch of "Surprise Surprise" at 5.7+ PG/R, at the time it seemed really technical and run-out for 5.4; I had thought I was just weak until I read the new PA guide book
