Comments: Great photo, but Jesus that looks pretty blank up around the next bolt!

Comments: Stellar first pitch with high quality vertical climbing at 5.10+. Second pitch isn't worth doing.

Comments: Long route with fun climbing throughout. This was my favorite of the 10s on this wall, with a few big moves in a row that leave you decently pumped.

Comments: Very broken climbing with many loose blocks and dirty ledges. Fun movement, but the rock quality took away from it. I will avoid in the future.

Comments: Awesome long long route. Multiple cruxes, but I thought there were plenty of bolts where you want them. Fun movement that's not immediately obvious - like one big puzzle.

Comments: Stiff for the grade - broken rock means there are precious few holds around bolt 4 (2 from the ledge). Fun start and good climb above.

Comments: Awesome climb!! Really long with great movement and solid rock the whole way. The walk off requires one small jump (a few feet) but is otherwise pretty casual. 13 bolts plus two shiny new ones up top for belaying your second.

Comments: Liked this climb a lot; pretty straightforward with long moves between great holds. Staying on the face all the way to the chains is worth it. Wish it was longer!

Comments: Pulled a large right hand-hold off of this route near the 7th/8th bolt. Doesn't change the grade, but I thought I'd share.

Comments: I agree with David - high first bolt and iffy moves just below and above it. Freaked me out a bit.

Comments: Hey Adam, thanks a ton for your effort here. I have a girlfriend still new to climbing that wants to go outside and see why I'm so in love with it. She's a solid 5.5 climber in the gym, but a bad first impression (too high, too scary, etc) could forever ruin her interest in outdoor climbing. If these are still here, I'll take her up in a few weeks, especially if it's near some taller walls (left-hand wall and whatnot?)

Comments: Made it up there today and climbed at the brickyard - really liked the bottom moves on Branch Breaker!
Are Branch Breaker, Hard Feelings, and Input supposed to share a set of bolts/chains at the top? We didn't see anything else above the 3rd/4th bolt of the right two routes so we just ran it out and clipped into the Branch Breaker gear at the top.
Thanks for the topo, and thanks for all the work you guys did, Andy and Steven!

Comments: I really enjoyed this climb - great holds all the way up. I'd give it 'great' if it was like this for longer...

Comments: There is a lot of slab climbing, but this wall is great rock, solid moves (very mental at times), great views, and the protection is excellent. I had the good fortune of meeting a member of the FA team on a trip this weekend and he was a great host. Definitely worth a day trip and I can't wait to go back to try the Cave Crag and the Tall Wall!

Comments: Real slabby from the start up to the 2nd/3rd bolt. If you're new to slab, the moves between bolt one and two are definitely going to be a challenge - probably more mental than physical. A lot easier up above but a fun route nonetheless!

Comments: This route is a lot of fun with interesting moves all the way up - especially up and over (or around) a small roof/boulder thing near the top that's well protected. Use long draws here in a couple places as the bolts are guarded by sharp edges.

Comments: great first/second lead and I still enjoy leading it for friends new to outdoor climbing. If you're leading be careful moving to the first bolt. You're moving up to the right and the ground is falling away beneath you above some unforgiving rocks.

Comments: Agree completely with Jon. It's a good mix of big/small holds, a broken roof, some ladder, and an arete that freaked me out (only my second outdoor climb)
[Update]: Just did it using a completely different route past the roof near the bottom and it was almost a completely new climb.

Comments: Fun route. Plenty of pro and not too hard, although it can be mental because of wind once you get above the bushes.

Comments: Again, easy to z-clip (I did it at first). A little bald below the anchors but easier if you stray to the sides.
