Location: NH : Whitehorse Ledge : 2. South Buttress : Wonder Wall : Three Saints (5.10-)

Comments: As I remember it this is mostly fingers/ laybacky until you get to the roofy thing, then a short stretch of strenuous hands/off hands... But not really a big-gear offwidth.

Comments: You will want a #3 or 4 Camalot for the first pitch.

Comments: There is another nice variation (technically part of Pathfinder, but the only part worth doing i.m.o.): From the pitch 4 anchor, approach the overlap, aiming for an old-ish pin. Step up, clip a bolt over the lip, and crank one 5.9 move onto the slab. Teeter left, throw a medium tricam in a pocket, and you're golden to the rap anchor.
You may continue on a short 5.7 pitch to the final, huge overlap. Anyone ever actually done "Corbett's Crack"? It sure looks harder than 5.8...

Comments: On the upper crux (undercling/reach over the swell)it is possible to get a nice medium nut in the flake you're reaching for- Which makes cranking the next move far less nerve-wracking.

Comments: Lee, I think you were on route. At the top of the corner there's a good nut in a pocket (to the right of the totally suspect flake), then the slabby mantle above your gear before you clip the 2nd bolt. Then committing slab moves out left and a balance traverse up and right before you get any more gear.
I would agree with at least a PG if not R. Red tricam is critical to protect the last moves to the anchor.

Comments: I thought this was a Brad White route...
With double ropes (or lots of long runners)it's quite reasonable to link Revolt into Reign of Fire for one long, sweet pitch. I'd say it's not for the timid 5.9 leader though.

Comments: After the last pin, on the upper ledge, it is possible to go left (slabby) or right (reachy). Once you gain the friable flakes and clip the first bolt, stepping left/ going straight up is a nice 5.10 variation.

Comments: The original pitch one kind of sucks in my opinion- Add fun and variety by starting up the Avenger finger crack on the right side of the nose.
You can do the whole shebang with a 70m rope, Short Order wanders so doubles are nice.

Comments: Guidebooks give this an R which it no longer deserves. Quite a bit harder if you're 5'8" or less though...
Between bolt #2 and #3, staying left of the fall line is very balancy, moving right of the fall line is more reachy and strenuous. Choose your own adventure!

Comments: Awesome pitch, file under "hidden in plain sight." Wish it was longer.
This might be PG, especially if you don't spot the "turnkey" nut pocket (to the right of the manky flake and below the mantle out of the corner). There is no pin anymore.
Most people will prefer to rap from the two-bolt station below the overlap.

Comments: I tried Cash Flow yesterday John, and was saved from disaster by a heap of leaves and duff (and my cat-like reflexes). The 5.10 slab moves are 15 or so feet off the ground. For the less retarded I recommend placing the first nut under the roof, then downclimbing and firing the direct start.

Comments: It is possible to get a small cam on the left after pulling the roof. At the fragile flake, a pink tricam provides some peace of mind before you bust the mantle. I find that stepping left after the bolt makes the finish more entertaining.
