The Routes

CLIMB 1: The Route to Mecca (Trad)

WTF? What the FEISTY!
- Most of this climb is suuuuper cruiser EXCEPT for the start. The bulge is protectable but it ain't no joke. Be prepared to search a while for holds and the beta to make it over - without feeling secure. It's the bulge that gives the climb our FEISTY rating.

CLIMB 2: Sir Climbalot (Trad)

WTF? What the FUN!
As a whole this route is the funnest of the four we did today. It is more varied and interesting.

CLIMB 3: Soupy Sales (Trad)

WTF? What the FUN!
Souper cruiser.

CLIMB 4: From Soup to Nuts (Trad)

WTF? What the FUN!
The first half of this climb is what makes it memorable - pulling a miniroof with monster holds (look for them, they are there) and an offwidth you have to squeeze through to get pro in.
