<title>Comfortably Numb (5.11c)</title>
<description>Rating: 3 - This feels very rough for 11c. Cranking off the one-finger pocket at the third bolt is the crux... but you don&#039;t get a shake until you&#039;re at the anchors. On my last RP burn of the day I fell right at the last move. Next time!! Very fun and steep...</description>

<title>Chicken McNuggets *** (5.10b)</title>
<description>Rating: 5 - This route has some really nice knobs on it.  It&#039;s a good name for it because a lot of the hold do look like chicken nuggets.</description>

<title>Iron Man (5.10a)</title>
<description>Rating: 5 - Iron Man was my first challenging route, and I&#039;d have to say, its pretty fun.  The first time I climbed it, I didn&#039;t reach the top for about 30 minutes, but a few weeks later, I could climb it in 4 or less.  The crack is challeging to climb due to its lack in holds whatsoever; it really takes a lot of endurance.  Beware of scars on the back of your hands with this one.</description>

<title>License to Bolt *** (5.11b)</title>
<description>Rating: 4 - Good climb and it did have a tough low crux.  I remember it hurting a little bit on the fingers, just had to suffer through it and got the redpoint.</description>

<title>Liquid Jade *** (5.12b)</title>
<description>Rating: 4 - This was a very difficult route.  Had some problems on some really thin holds, but a hang dogged my way through.</description>

<title>Vomit Launch **** (5.11b)</title>
<description>Rating: 5 - This was upsetting.  I fell when my foot slipped off in the middle of making the last move.  Talk about frustration.  The route itself is 5 star.  A great face climb, long and sustained.</description>

<title>Satisfaction (5.11a)</title>
<description>Rating: 3 - always thought this was considered 11c.  Still feels like it even when clean and dry.  Maybe small fingers would be easier.  Avoiding the ledges at 2/3 height definitely makes it more potent.  Ah, too much pain...</description>
