Brian Abram, belaying his wife Dana up the first pitch of Dinkus Dog on the South Side of Looking Glass.  The route's a bit steeper than this photo's perspective makes it seem.  The roof below the start is clearly visible.

Comments: I followed this route several years ago and remember that getting to the first pin is scary and hard. I fell following it BEFORE I got to the pin. I got an email about the route today and thought it might be worth putting up here. This isn't my comment, but the opinion of a partner. If the Selected guidebook didn't say "the only danger on this gem is having too much fun," I would not post it. That statement is a bullcrap, dangerous thing to be misinterpreted in a guidebook. As for the accuracy o... more >>

Comments: Agree that starting below Legendary and climbing straight up to the bulge before traversing made for a well protected start. The 4th pitch had the worst gear of the route, but was still reasonable. Had a single rack of nuts and doubles of C3 #0 to a #3 C4 Camalot. A #4 could have been used, but is definitely not critical with plenty of options for #2s and #3s if you wanna leave the #4 on the ground. There are a few traverses, so bring slings.

Comments: I hesitate to post this, but this line was for sure led prior to 2009. In Spring 2007, I top roped it after an unsuccessful redpoint attempt on Shredded Wheat. For me, I thought it was easier than SW, so I then led it, placing gear in that flake. I had assumed that either this line had been done previously, or that it was not distinct enough from SW to be considered another route. I talked to Stephen Scoff about it at the time, as he has more info about route history than anyone I know perso... more >>
