Andy, Ignorance is Bliss is the small trail side pinnacle that I think you said you and Eric climbed. I don't know the rating. Billy Goat is the .10, but the crack is only .9+.

Chris, heads up on East Butt, the old bolts have not been replaced. however we aided off of the fist one, and it did not move. there is also cactus on the route. It went at 5.8 A0 for us.

Christian, I've climbed Table 2 dozen times, and the Finger 1/2 dozen or so times. you can do it bro.

Heading back soon to the East Face of Leviathan. Great climb and long walk makes it worth it.
