Really fun one. There is a dangerous flake near the top, to the climbers-left. It easily moves if you grab it and would very likely kill or severely injure the belayer or anyone else at the base. Recommend someone trundle it when no one is around.

Excellent! I think I even found a tiny kneebar.

Excellent. Classic all the way!

A few moves down low to warm you up.

So much fun. Had to go full try hard mode through the roof but the jams are great! I think it’s pretty solid 5.11+ by Indian creek standards. Only did first pitch, second looked kinda meh.

Not sustained

Nice one, no big cams needed (I think I used a single #2). Rap from the anchors to the right is easy with a 70M, might work with a 60M.

Small gear is very much needed. Not sure if you ‘must’ stay in the corner at the bottom or if you can use the ledge to the right. Either way the crux is pulling the roof and a fall there would be ‘exciting’. Felt easier than Afterburner but I guess 6+ or 11a is about right.

Via both finishes, left finish is maybe 5-

Fun, punchy fingers but not sustained

One of the best long crack pitches I’ve done, would be a 5 star classic in Yosemite with a que stretching down the whole valley. I’d say likely an 11b in Yose style so I’ll go with 7- here like most others.

Short but fun

Followed to clean it, super chill.

Good way to dust off your trad skillz. Would be a classic at most trad cragging areas

Great climb, would definitely clock in at 5.11+ in Yosemite. Third try, second attempt on the day. Yellow Totems for the win!

Great route. 70m rope will bring you to the starting ledge

Incredibly fun route, the tube isn’t too hard but the traverse makes you work for it.

Really enjoyable movement.

Too many spider webs but fun climbing

Amazing line.

Nice climbing, more technical that it appears. Definitely worth finishing on Hassan Chop (which only adds 5.10a climbing)

Wow, bold climbing that really makes you work for it. Definitely tricky gear through the first half and the first moves into the corner pack a punch. Proud lead.
