Lowering down after a clean send of M&Ms.  Lots of small gear as you can see. <br /> <br />The rope on the left is hanging down on George and Martha's.  Friends were running laps on it when they talked me into leading M&Ms!

Comments: A Great route well worth a visit. The slab climbing up high is reminiscent of Tuolumne and makes you wish it went on for another 100'!

From the Anchors it's 40m down to the ledge directly below. Scramble down off the ledge (climbers left) to get back to the base area below MOTB.

Comments: Good Route - Fun, delicate moves. Just the right amount of pro (gear/bolts) to make this feel "real" but not run out. A good intro into harder face/slab climbs without being a horror show. Get on it!

Not sure this deserves the "5.9+" rating. 9+ is kind of a "special" grade reserved for old school climbs that are more than likely a sandbag. It's 5.9

There a TWO sets of anchors available at the top. A set to the left with QLs on it and a set of Fixe Ring Anchors up higher and right (above ... more >>

Comments: There's NO WAY this is PG-13. PG MAYBE, if you don't have a #5 but it's not PG13 by a long shot.

Comments: Pretty sure this climbs nearly the same line as Hot Fudge if not the EXACT same line as Hot Fudge. All three guidebooks show Hot Fudge more on the right side of the wall.

Comments: Looks Great. 2nd the idea of making an Hard Copy Version. I'd buy one even though I don't live in the state. I like to support quality quidebook authors when I can.

If a print version isn't in the future - has anyone looked into something like using an online publishing site? Obviously Copyright holders need to ok this.

Hence the reason I want to throw money their way first.
