Good / long heavily bolted climb. Reasonably fun, but I don't know about the 10a rating. Felt more like 8 to me but I'm honoring the FA's rating.

Great route for someone breaking into the grade or leading.

Has bolts at 60 and 70 m.

buy the topos at IME around left of REI on 33rd south 10 dollars

The climbing on the dark grey rock is cool and kinda funky edging and positional climbing. Then a sandy roof requiring an attentive belayer ready for a soft catch. The last third of the climb has really fun pocket and edge climbing on some of the best rock up there. The last third more than compensates for the middle so keep your head down and persevere.

Sustained edge and pocket pulling.  Much easier once you find the good pockets but still there in your face.  I really like this one because its nice and sustained.

Start on Melting into Madness and start veering right after the third bolt. The first bolt as this line breaks to the right is only a couple feet to the right of the 4th bolt of Melting into Madness, the line continues to move up and to the right, distancing itself from the Melting into Madness bolt line. After splitting off from Melting into Madness, the route takes you up a thin face before easing up towards the top. The face is of similar difficulty when compared to Cotton Mouth but the climb isn't as sustained as Cotton Mouth.

I tentatively put Greg M and Tyler P as the first ascent on this since they did many of the routes on the wall, including the routes immediately to the left and right of this one.  I had seen the grade .10c suggested by a few other climbers, but I'm not sure on the FA's stated grade. If anyone can confirm some of this information or provide some new information on this route (such as a name) just comment or shoot me a PM and I'll adjust the information accordingly.

Starts sort of hard then there is break as the climb trends up and left towards

. The climbing is a good mix of crimps, pockets, side pulls and an undercling or two.

The holds change but the route is sustained. Good fun.

This climb is tricky with small edges, pockets and knobs with a fun small roof to navigate.

A really fun .10 with lots of really big jugs interspersed between nice pockets and crimps.  This has two pitches and the first has two variations - one in the dihedral and one on the face but I'm not sure how those guys meant for it to go.  I just know if you link both pitches together in one long pitch its a really fun climb.  Just enough jugs and rests to avoid being .11
