Food Baby 

When exactly do you think you got a first ascent on this?

About 3 hours after I bolted the anchors in, lowered down the face clearing off a ton of loose rock, TR'ing it to mark bolt placements. Rapping back down to bolt the lead bolts, pulling the rope and then leading it for the 1st time. That's how sport climbing FA's are done :)

I've got a few friends that solo'd that route 5 years ago... and they thought they weren't the first to climb it.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised at all to hear someone had climbed it before, as it is in a relatively obvious and short approach area. There are some other bolted anchors on the formation as well though there weren't any over either Food Baby or Soul Sister Thunder. I can say for sure that I was the 1st person to actually clean the route of loose rock as there was a ton of it.

I am sure Native Americans and Miners free solo'd all over St Helena before "we" modern rock climbers arrived. Doesn't mean it can't be developed in a more modern capacity, thus giving NorCal sport climbers another area to be able to explore. Give it a run the next time your out there, it's definitely a fun and easy route!

Very crumbly and very easy, although okay for beginning climbers learning to lead.

Very easy, but my partner did her first outdoor lead here to practice! I solo'd up afterwards to clean it. All low angle with abundant holds. Loose like the rest of the crag.

This is a great climb for a first lead...all the bolts are easy to clip . It wanders just enough to teach a first timer that they need to watch the rope around their legs. Easy enough to learn the techniques. The kids and first time climbers with us enjoyed it too.

Phil, That is good to hear and was always the intention of the route. I literally bolted it for my kids to have fun on, and they did. Sure it is a little more grungy being the lowest angle of all of the routes, but for a 5.5 I thought, and still do think, that it was fun.
