| The Mega Low Down (7A) | This is a short boulder hanging over a small pool of the creek at Megladon. Sit with a small lh sidepull on the face and a rh sloper at the right corner using a poor foot smear on the low portion of the boulder. Fire rh to a good hold just above the starting rh, then make a big rh move to the pinch at the lip above. Avoid sliding off the polished lip and follow its right side to topout. Dabby finish trying to sneak between the two boulders but overall was a fun little line. |

| Beastly Boys Sit (7C+) | 40 minutes up trail from parking just a few minutes past Kneez in the Trap. This climb ascends the short east face of a huge overhanging boulder underneath the trail along the creek. Start sitting above a small (also flooded or completly dry depending on season) creek flow that comes out the rad cave. Start with a nice sidepull on the left corner and crimp hard on a thin edge on the right side of the face to lift off using a good left foot and a crafty right toehook. Fire for a beautiful hold above, manage a nasty swing, and keep it together for the v5ish finish. 11 years. |

| Brokedown Palace (7C+) | Absolutely loved this one. Honestly, I'm sad to have done it because now I don't get to climb on this perfect river-polished granite anymore :( As hard as/easier than the Nickness if your span is 6'6" |

| Uncivilized (7B+) | Short climb, easy to learn all of the moves quickly. Shorter climbers will find the top easier I think, due to the box, but you can also do the top move statically if you’re taller (: I do think that the left knee bar position is necessary - I wanted to find a way around that since I wasn’t convinced I could bend my knee that much (being post-op and not having all my ROM in flexion and extension still) - but I found that you can tuck it without really leaning into it, if that makes sense. Doing so, on my send go I kind of miss the left hand slopey crimp hold by going over and then sliding into it - but it didn’t matter because of where the knee is. The crux is the jump move, I recommend Sky’s beta of committing to the left hand catch whether you’re tall or short. I did this one in about 4 (or maybe 3 I don’t really remember) attempts - the jump hold is good so just calm any nerves and have a spotter. I am psyched on this one, probably my favorite climbing day of 2023 not because of the send necessarily but because I got to see the New Sector and a ton of history in the climbing community. Would like to come back and do Undercivilized. |
