Comments: I played with this rock a while back If I remember correctly during the summer there was a bush that hid a good sized rock under it. If you fall I was pushing off to a pad where it was flat if you fall straight down if that rock is still there kiss your ankle and dignity goodbye.

Comments: The 5.7+ routes on the small wall/boulder felt harder to me maybe the way I was climbing it? Be warned if you are looking for some chill/easy 5.7's .

Comments: I followed bill on this yesterday, as the multipitch route i rate it 5.7 the moves for me felt very thin in some parts (trust your feet) and you can make them happen. I also thought the nice 20-30 foot lieback section of this route was awsome and wish it was longer.

Comments: I think this route has fun moves and can be climbed a few ways left, right, straight and stay about the same grade. wish it had anchors before the scramble to reduce rope abuse. i rapped the route lowering will kill your rope.

Comments: I did my first outdoor lead here, the route was in the red light district i belive and i think it was a 5.6, the route is not listed here but its the one that traverses to the left alot. Anyone know what this route is called? If i remember correctly it had 3-4 bolts to 2ba with chains. (EDIT) , the route was called people mover and has been added to the datebase.

Comments: This route seemed harder then 5.6 to me i climbed off to the right of the bolt line though, and i suck at side-pulls.This route was good for telling me what i need to work on.

Comments: I climbed this right after a heavy rain and the pockets had about 2 inches of water in them and smearing was a no-go, also water was dripping on me from the top. when fully wet i would give it a 5.10 (not recomended) I have not climbed it dry yet.

Comments: who bolted this route? They did a good job no spinning and quality hardware. i give it a 5.7 its slabby and traverses but the bolts are plenty close togeather for a safe first lead.

Comments: i just climbed this climb this weekend, i will second jason to rap off this route. it is a fun climb for the grade but towards the top be ready for rope drag. need a 60m rope at the very least.I came up about 10 feet short of the dirt but easy downclimb where i stoped.Also be aware when you transition from steep to slab you are in the middle of bolts kinda far apart would not want to fall there.
