| Phantom of the Opera (7c+) | Really well bolted. No unnecessary clips. The crux crimp is pretty polished from all those greasy mits on it, which made the move to it kinda low percentage. Its annoying because of the great rest you get before it. No cranking at all through the bottom if you trust your feet. The Phantom is defeated. |

| Destination Anywhere (7a) | Excellent route and also the first bit of rock I ever drilled holes in I think. Thanks Marco for the shiny new bolts on this route! Stoked I got to climb it. I think some more routes in the crack deserve revisiting... |

| All the Foreigners, Especially the French (6b) | I definitely think this crag needs some more attention. The bolts on this and other nearby lines are still good, bar a few. Really good climbing and quite stiff at the grade. |

| Tsunami (6c+) | Onsighting aréte cruxes are nearly impossible for me, but I love it all the more for it. I needed some jugs in my life, and I finally got 'em on this one... I like "The Boneyard." |

| Total Anarchy (6b) | Nice warmup. A couple tricky spots that keep you "on your toes" |

| Sex, Politics and Pets (6b+) | Good sustained 10d/11a climbing. I'm fine calling it either of those two grades. I found a stellar backflag rest about three quarters of the way up. Thanks "Robyn's Route" for teaching me to look for that move! |

| Grasshopper (5a) | Santos flashes the 17, then gets shut down at the second bolt on the 15... Classic |
