Fun climb characterized by vertical pockets at the powerful roof. A fairly long (but easy) run to the anchor from the last bolt. Rated .10a in the old Sotille guidebook. The roof is a fair bit burlier than that (I thought).

Some 5.8 climbing takes you to the roof, where a loooooong reach to a suitcase handle jug allows passage over the roof.  5.9 climbing continues to the anchor.

Start up "8 Second Ride" for two bolts before cutting right up a line of rust-colored bolts, which were reinstalled by Greg Miles in 2016.

Shallow pockets, sloping holds, and moving left/right of bolts characterize this one. Fun and different holds than most of its Rodeo counterparts.

Three different crux sections keep this climb interesting.  Save some energy for the finish! The first crux is just passing the small roof at the first bolt.  The next crux comes at midheight and involves thin, but positive crimps.  The final crux is just past the last bolt and is a difficult sequence of moves on sloping pockets.  The finishing moves make this climb a challenging onsite for the grade.

One of the better climbs at Rodeo.  A bouldery move off the ground gets you into 30 feet of slab climbing.  A difficult move over a roof leads to balancy moves to the next bolt.  Don't fall here!  Slightly spaced bolts up the headwall above get you to the anchor.

Cruxiest moves at the bottom and top, with a somewhat burly roof pull at midheight. Fun!

Entertaining face climbing above the roof is the highlight of this route.  The climb begins with 30 feet of slab to the standard Rodeo roof move.  The final headwall to the anchors is thin and thought provoking.  Stay left of the upper bolts for the easiest passage.

It starts on dirty low angle terrain before arriving at a large section of the roof. Pull over the roof on small, non-patina holds, continue up and right over the overlap, before meeting up with the upper few bolts of Redman.

This route is still bolted in a more old-school fashion. Just a heads up.

Cruxy near the roof pull. In a sea of those great Rodeo patina edges, sometimes it's hard to see the often fundamental hidden pockets. Fun edge pulling above roof.

The best 5.9 at Rodeo and the usual warmup.  The climb begins with 30 feet of slab, to a fun roof move, and then quality crimping and edging to the anchors.

A fun moderate with somewhat spacey bolts. Feels similar to Bulldoggin', but bigger holds & less sustained.

Called 10 Second Ride and given .10c in the old guidebook.

Quite fun edges similar to those on Betty Tendonblaster, but not quite as good! Rated .10a in the old guidebook, it's just not that hard.

Intriguing movement on some strange holds. Probably my least favorite route here (although I've heard "Middle Route" is pretty bad too).
