Description:
This is the furthest left route in the alcove. This route defines American Fork sport climbing. A bouldery start leads to a technical face and slab above. Absolutely Classic!

Hang Dog ascent by:
Tough!
Wow! This is one tough route, especially when compared to Eight to Eleven's second pitch. (Granted, I'm kinda weak-sauce and my forearms aren't as strong as I'd like...). It's a fun climb though for sure. I'm going to have to go back and do it again. Hangdogging just doesn't do it justice.

Red Point ascent by:
Classic!
This is the route that starts with a boulder-like sequence. Many partners I've gone with prefer to stack up a few rocks to stand on to get started, although I've never had to. You would think the 1st move is the hardest, but for me, the crux is near the top right where you think it eases up..where the style changes from strong jug pulling to technical as the angle eases up. Even though I flashed Juggernaut, Suicide Blonde took me over 5 visits to red-point. Very deserving of the grade.....Kind of a short route, only 6-8 bolts, I think.
