I think it is 5.7 if you can get the hand-jam under the roof solidly, and 5.8 if it is the wrong size for your hands, so isn't solid. (If you just don't know how to jam, that's your problem not the climb's.)

Haven't climbed it in years... a bit cleaner now, than then. Lots of stuff looks like it should be loose, but actually all pretty solid. Pleasant.

 
5.8 Cedar Hollow Mixed trad 15m, 3 Good
Placing a nut in a roof, laid-back off a bomber hand-jam with smeared feet is just kind of awesome.

 
5.4 Nameless Trad 18m Average
Was more careful looking for gear placements... found another one that is, ok, I guess (detached but well-embedded big block), so I guess I'll allow that it is not PG, but G. You win, Bart.

The 5.6 grad on this was a mite mad -- definitely harder and more committing than that. Still a tough and heady lead -- but a couple bolts in the dihedral where I sling the tree (twice) would be a good improvement.

5.5 Boris' Route - with Simon McMillan Trad 70m Classic
Followed P1 clean, lead P2 clean, tried a poor choice for hard variation at end of P3 and fell. Oh well.

Good timing for starting the route, though, as it started to rain just as we were starting to walk off.
