Comments: Overall a very fun climb. Lots of varied movement and good fun on every pitch. Pitch 2 has some really fantastic lie-backing. Also, it felt a lot more adventurous than anything over on Bark’s Canyon Wall, but the rock quality was mostly solid when on route(P3 has a bit of so-so stuff). There is a bit of spice here and there, but if there wasn’t any spice then I’m not sure it would qualify as a Supes route!

Comments: I haven't been to Iso in awhile, but in the past we've always taken a car and been fine. We usually park at a small open area on the right of the road, 200 yards or so shy of where the high clearance vehicles park. Unless the road conditions have dramatically changed, you'll have no issues.

Comments: This line, Pocket Full of Rainbows, and Bon Bons In Space all share the same anchor. Currently, it has one good bolt and one decent one, but both hangers are very rusty. Not sure I'd trust them for anything but rapping. That said, the left two lines are really cool and quite steep on huge pockets.

Comments: After I got out there, I realized I traversed a bit too low. There is a new bolt about 15' higher that you can get too by traversing straight over too it.

Comments: Great route, a must-do if at CFE. Pro is great, tricky to get that last piece the pod as that's also your best hand hold!

Comments: Cool route, very thin and lots of hard moves. 1st bolt is a bit high, but the crux section is very well protected.

Comments: Pulling the roof was fun. Mostly face climbing after that. 1 bolt on top with a .5 sized crack next to it for the anchor.

Comments: That's awesome! A few questions-
-Is the road in good enough shape to get back there with a 2wd car?
-Does coming in from this side save time over the original way?
-Are you rapping in from above the canyon rim or just following a trail in?
Thanks and can't wait to get back out to LDE! Can't believe it has almost been a year since I've been out there...

Comments: A good hard pitch indeed! For the onsight rack I suggest 3x grey-yellow TCU's and 2x .5-1, +small/medium nuts. The beginning is easy, but tread carefully as there is some loose stuff still. The brunt of the climb is thin fingers with a few hidden thank god holds here and there. The top section looks hard to protect from below, but good options show up. A long pitch, not sure if a 60m would make it?

Comments: Amazing pitch! Lots of varied climbing and plenty of tough moves separated by good rests. I'd recommend saving a #1/#2 camalot for the horizontal above the roof.

Comments: A very technical and sustained climb. Lots of committing high stepping and LB, with good fingers but little in the way of feet. Great small gear the whole way, but definitely not an easy tick. Used 2x purple to red Metolius and a few nuts to sew it up.

Comments: I agree with Joel, Rising Sun is great stuff and much easier than FF. Kind of blocky to start, but plenty of fun moves above. The last moves that traverse right onto the arete are great and offer some nice exposure.

Comments: Just a really great climb! Starts out quite mellow (5.8ish), but very fun(and a good warm-up). The tan block mid-route is where the best stuff really starts and it ramps in difficulty from there. Fun, sustained moves to get set up under the roof and it all protects beautifully. A tricky sequence to get over the roof and to the jug rail, but fortunately the holds after the roof are all excellent(although don't expect the fight to be over until you actually clip the chains!).

Comments: One of my favorite 10's anywhere, and one I repeat every chance I get. Unfortunately, I fixed a red C4 under the first roof on Sunday. Would love to get it back if possible. A six pack of your choice and tons of good karma awaits..!

Comments: Linked all 3 pitches into 1 220' mega pitch the other day with Nick W. What a great way to do this climb if you have a 70m rope. You really get just about everything in one pitch. Fun face climbing to start; then thin fingers to all sorts of crack climbing that ends with offwidth at the top.
This was the first time I have done the 3rd pitch and it's highly recommended. It's super fun hand jamming in a corner and gets very overhanging quickly. A few face holds inside and outside t... more >>

Comments: Just a great line! Fun & sustained fingers to a very technical crux section through the bolts.
I used doubles from purple-yellow Mastercams and a few smaller nuts. Maybe want a orange or red MC as well, but not necessary.
