Rating: 3 - I had no idea this was a climb before seeing the anchors so we hopped on it and turns out its harder than what i usually do. who knew. It's also a pretty crumbly rock in some places, and cleaning up is a pain in the... neck

Rating: 5 - this thing is quite a sight from the approach, and doesn't disappoint when climbed. stellar moves, and hard to stay calm with all those big moves. and just when you think you can clear the overhang to a slab stance, think again...

Rating: 5 - this climb has it all. highly recommended. starts with technical face moves up to a stance, and followed by some crimps and pockets to a sit down rest. hang out for a bit, and head up to the long hanging chains. hit the top hold over the chains for full value - you'll be glad you did. have fun.

Rating: 4 - First trad lead! Actually, first time placing gear ever too. Top roped it twice while placing gear then led it. Felt great. Never fell so didn't get to test the placements, but everything looked solid when removing. Great route for trad beginners; most all placements can be made with the use of two hands.

Rating: 3 - Climbed it while it was raining though the route itself was actually dry and protected. Decent 5.7 trad route and allows you to setup TR for the 5.11a sport. Beware that the left anchor is loose. I setup a mixed anchor using two pieces of gear and the right anchor.

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 4 - Fun moves on postiive dikes -- some fun reach and balance. The bolt spacing really wakes you up. Maybe not worth placing gear before first bolt, but you'd better not fall there. The runouts seem to be on easier moves, but this is not sport climbing as I've come to know it.

One note of getting to the 2nd 11 is a little tricky, dont take the perfect hand crack up looks to your left and you will see the other set of anchors that will take you to the next 11 the 2nd 11 is a very very nice short climb!! super fun

11th Commandment

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 4 - Pumpy and steep on the bottom, the bolts are widely spaced on top and the climbing is lower angle. This route feels a little harder than 10a mainly b/c there doesn't seem to be one specific crux but rather sutained climbing the entire way. A great route.

Rating: 5 - This is one of my favorites in Potrero it takes a litle bit to walk there but the pitch of 11 is worth it! but I think the pitch of 9 at the top is really a 10b because right after the ledge to start the 9 theres no feet and really shitty hands unless something broke off there

Rating: 4 - Seemed easier than the grade the first time, the second I made it harder by pulling the small roof. I think you must go straight through the small roof to achieve this grade, otherwise much lower if you traverse left to the arete.

Rating: 4 - This is a nice technical route with a little pump to it. The only detraction is how close it gets to the route right of it. The guidebook gives it a 5.10d which I'd agree with. No way is it 5.11a.

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 3 - I think getting to the first bolt may be a little scary for a 5.7 climber to lead. I think after getting to the first bolt it's probably a 5.6 climb. The climb was fairly easy, but fun. It was nice to have holds on granite. The finish is unbolted but easy climbing. At the top there is one hanger on a bolt, the other bolt is missing its hanger. There is a bolder to sling but it's pretty far back, take a lot of slings, or you can place a stopper in a crack up there and use less sling, or do both for safety. You could scramble up to top rope.

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0800

Rating: 5 - The whole route is enjoyable, the only thing about
"commitment" seemed to be that you do not know what holds you will use above the roof but it's there and not very hard and the pro in the roof just before the move is great. Finish the 5.9 right variation - good pro and not hard either. (I led the 1st and 3rd pitches.)
