I wish I would have snapped a shot of this route. It has been a couple years since I went into LCC and I went in today with a friend to revisit pentapitch and somehow I got myself somewhere else. I can't seem to figure out what the route we did was. We came up short on the approach to pentapitch. Ended up a bit west of it I believe, but it wasn't industrial wall. It was a trad route between two sport routes and it had a nasty tree in the middle of the crack, and a ton of foliage on a ledge above the anchors for the sport route. Anyone have an idea as to what I may have climbed today?

Sounds like you were over on Sasquatch but there is not tree in the middle of it.

If you go west of Pentapitch (looker's right) you end up in Coalpit Gulch. If you go a little east you might have ended up on Japanese Terraces or Stifflers Mom. Sasquatch has that little roof you pull over so it's pretty easy to match up.

If you really blew the approach to Pentapitch, were to the west, and not at the Industrial Wall in Coalpit, you could have been over by Pandora's Blocks, Block Party and those routes. That area has bolted routes mixed in with broken, brushy rock. Look at Waterfall Buttress area on this site and see if it matches where you were. There is a direct start to Sasquatch with a couple of bolts, but it is right around the corner from the start of Pentapitch, and it is hard to believe that you wouldn't have noticed that you were right next to Pentapitch, and Sasquatch doesn't have a "nasty tree" in the middle of the crack.

Possibly Dandy Long legs over by the great white icicle.

Sounds like Stifflers Mom. Bolted slab on either side of a left facing inside corner with a tree about half way up the first pitch.

I'd say Loch Ness to Nubbins Direct. Decent enough climbing if so.
