| Road Killer (7C+) | Took too long, finally made one subtle beta tweak and did it first try. Sharp pocket detracts a bit |

| A Glutton for Punishment (8A) | Sit start to The Flogging, starting matched on the angled crystal. Second hold is a bit ricey. The grade is a guess.. V8 into V9, or something like that.. |

| Ultramarine (8a) | Fun!!! Resistance climbing with a heart breaker red point crux. I thought the breakdown is V5 to a medium good shake to a V4 to a V5. It was only me trying this so not totally sure of the grades. |

| Tokyo Drift (8a) | If you can get the mediocre knee bar it helps but that means your leg is shorter and the initial roof is harder. Smallest hold of any route in the canyon. |

| Cream of Sumyunguy (8a+) | When I figured out how to climb this it happened quick but it took lots of time. The route was extended a few years ago so it is longer than what the book says. The extension adds a bit of difficulty but doesn’t add to the grade. |
