After lowering from my previous attempt, I rested a little bit, then tried leading this route again. I still struggled a little bit at the bulge between the 1st and 2nd bolts (?), but managed to get over it again (though with a less clean/rougher beta than last time). I decided to go the easier route to the right at the plants, rather than climbing straight up the next face. From there it was a relatively easy and quite fun climb that seemed to just keep going and going, very cool. Mantling over the top above the last bolt was a little scary, but there were super solid hands, so it wasn't too bad once I decided to just go for it. Cleaned this route on my way down.

Attempted to lead this, clipped the first (and maybe second?) bolt, but then couldn't figure out how to get over the bulge. Hung on the rope and rested a while, then attempted it again and managed to easily get over the bulge. Decided to lower down so that I could send the route clean.

Putting up a top rope. Loses a star IMO for the zig zagging low down which seems to be required to keep the grade.

Saw this climb got added and thought we would give it a try. Thought that it was a bit easier than 15 (probably 13/14) certainly easier than Snooze and You Lose. A bit dirty but I am sure that it will clean up very quickly with more ascents. Found a snake skin in a crack 2/3 up.
