The route went pretty quick, but the rock was not the best: a little crumbly and dirty.

5.8 Big Blob Of Love - with Fritz Devendorf Sport 12m, 5 Mentmore Average Mon 4th Nov 2013
The guidebook says 5 bolts, but I counted 6. I'm not 100% sure, because I didn't count twice.

5.9 Hollywood Time Sport 20m, 6 Las Conchas Very Good Wed 21st Sep 2011
Once I figured the moves out, it goes nicely. Love the huecos and other pockets.

5.8 Drunk Rednecks with Golfclubs Sport 16m Diablo Canyon Good Tue 21st Oct 2008
Climbed to crux; dallied too long, started over and fired through. Re-climbed it twice. Worked on my pinch holds. This could be the last warm day of fall.

I sent it by going over the arete edge and back. More fun this way; you notice the exposure. Fritz seconded.

5.10a Protein Supplement Sport 24m, 5 Diablo Canyon Good Tue 28th Oct 2008
We wound up using some old chains at the top that were not in the guidebook. Later we noticed the correct chains. Hot day for the end of October in a hot place. I think the sun sapped me when I tried a third route for the day and lowered off.

5.9 Clean Green Dream Sport 36m Tres Piedras Classic Sun 17th May 2009
Both times I climbed it I was off a bit to the left of the bolts, making the face climb more intense. Someday I will follow the bolts.

5.9 Green Streakj Sport 30m Tres Piedras Classic Sun 17th May 2009
Tough 5.9 overhang, Then I took a mostly unremitting 5.7+/5.8 face somewhat left of the actual(easier)route.

5.10a Drive By Shooting Sport 20m Las Conchas Classic Wed 10th Aug 2011
A nicely varied climb with lots of pinch moves and opportunity to use lots of different moves. I peeled off a few times on the way up.

5.9 Bovine Inspiration Sport 20m, 6 Las Conchas Good Tue 20th May 2008
Four or five of us did it and each did the crux differently. Crux moves near bottom, and appearance of hero moves further up due to hidden bucket holds.

5.7 Crucible Sport 20m Las Conchas Very Good Sun 4th Jun 2006
