| Size Matters Not (6b+) | Retro flash, easier than maggie. No ground fall potential anymore with erosion but still spacey bolts. |

| Ass Master (7a+) | Route has gotten taller because the base boulders have washed away. Starts as a V4/5 boulder and gets much easier after the first bolt. Needs a lower first bolt |

| Ledge Dweller (7b+) | Retro flash - interesting sequence at first crux now with some of the original holds broken, Dans beta got me through. Alt beta for the top crux (didn't use the left arete, did big reach straight up off the crimp undercling) |

| Screaming Life (7c+) | Repeat - 3 goes to get it done in a day. Very thin vert climbing, nice to repeat my first 13a. Power slab crux on 5mm edges then a really nice power endurance boulder on slightly better crimps |

| Changing Corner (7a) | This hasnt been done since part of the route fell down. Cool compression climb left behind where there once was a dihedral, flows super well. Runout 5.9 after the crux |

| Pot Head (direct start to fifth element (7b) | Second go today, never really worked this properly in the past. It has what feels like a V5 roof pull, so I think it has to be at least 12b. |

| Sledgehammer (6c) | First of the grade. Flatrock is an incredible setting on the ocean with conglomerate rock that bites back. |

| Here Come The Shithawks (7a+) | Harder now with the start ledge gone. I cold barely reach the start hold above the roof so good luck if you're short |

| Angry Birds (7b+) | Originally 12b but broke the crux hold off during the FA while still sending. Then Sarah did FRA at 12c and I re-sent soon after. Very technical and varied off-vertical climbing in a spectacular location. No third ascent yet, go get it! |

| Dancing With Myself (7a+) | Third climb at the lookout. Very technical, crimpy with some small pockets and a great whip at the chains. Feels great to finally be half in shape after a long summer plagued by two injuries. |
