Are you looking for PG to R rated 5.10a-11a routes? So nothing G rated? I don't know why I care, as I haven't lead anything at that grade at the lake... MR 0 Flag Quote

	Wes W · Jun 9, 2015 · Boulder, CO · Joined Jan 2013 · Points: 380 Here are the top 10 best leads at the Lake in my opinion 1) American dream Roof – safest and easiest DL lead 2) Sometime crack – pumpy but takes good gear and has good holds 3) Congrats – probably harder than 10a but a classic 4) Tarantula or 5) Gargantua – sort of a give me for the grade, one hard move and 5.8 to the top (except for the last move) 6) Cheetah 7) RC Crack – solid pro if its not wet 8) Cop-out – probably easier than catenary crack 9) The pooper – 5.9 in the guide book but more like 10a 10) TM overhang – like a baby ADR, again 5.9 in the guide book but it climbs more like 5.10 0 Flag Quote
