| I thought this was a really fun route. Some really nice "jungle gym" moves going through the roofs. |

| Very fun route with interesting moves and nicely bolted, I thought. Guide book rates it 5.10a, but I vote for 5.9. You will not be able to see your belayer from the top, so plan accordingly. |

| Really fun route. The second roof was a blast. One of the best routes at Avalon. |

| Surmount the first root by stepping left onto the face, head up and right to the second roof, then enjoy the delightful series of moves up the steep holds -- fun! |
