Comments: Neither spelling is correct. It's "Ryane's Revenge." I know Ryane's mom, and that's how she spells her daughter's name.

Comments: Locker, please stop using the term "project" in the same sentence as "5.8". You're giving us a bad name.

Comments: Morbid trivia: The concrete slab in front of Boy Scout Wall has the distinction of being the site of the first homicide in 2007 in San Bernardino County. The shooting occurred at 15 minutes after midnight on January 1.

Comments: The two routes on low-angle rock below Fantasy Island are 10a-ish. They climb like J Tree slabs, minus the friction.

Comments: No crux? That's a new one! The top of this route is distinctly the crux.

Comments: "Shady and convenient."
If you think this route is "shady," you should see the new stuff Jack is putting up.

Comments: There is no belay bolt per se. The leader clips the first two bolts before leaving the starting ledge. Most belayers belay from the ground.

Comments: Route has a couple of interesting moves, but overall isn't much to talk about.

Comments: A one-move wonder with a scary start.

Location: CA : Los Angeles County : Angeles National Forest : Williamson Rock : London Wall : KAOS (5.11d)

Comments: Although KAOS is rated 5.11b in the guidebook, I agree with Chris Miller's comment to the Labyrinth listing that KAOS is harder than Labyrinth, which is my benchmark for 5.11c. On the other hand, KAOS is easier than Furry Pump, my benchmark for 5.12a. Therefore, I rate KAOS 5.11d.

Location: CA : High Desert : New Jack City : Twin Towers : Funny Like A Funeral (5.12a/b)
By: Jay Tanzman When: Mar 26, 2007 | view comment >> |
Comments: A great route that deserves more attention than it gets. Mellow start leads to crux: small handholds with imaginary footholds. Fun gym-like moves lead to 2nd crux involving a flat sloped hold. Climb progressively easier, but no less fun, moves to anchor.
Stemming to wall across chimney is off-route (reduces difficulty to 5.11).

Comments: I think the crux is between the last bolt and the anchors.

Comments: jbak, I had trouble with javalina last time I climbed it, despite having onsighted it several years ago. I also wondered if something had broken off -- around the 2nd bolt, if memory serves.
